Russia's Gazprom will build a new branch of its Nord Stream gas pipeline through the Czech Republic, news server tyden.cz wrote, citing Gazprom official Alexander Medvedev.
"After the pipeline is complete we will increase the volume of gas transit through the Czech Republic, which will mean solid additional income for the country," tyden.cz cited Medvedev as saying.
The 176 kilometre pipeline named Gazela will run through the Czech town Hora Svate Kateriny next to the northwestern Czech-German boarder to the German town Waidhaus.
