Just some thoughts on this which i may elaborate a bit further later:
- it’s nice for Serbia, that they’ll become gas-delivery-hub to western europe and thus become more important in the region
- it’s nice for Russia that they are in a strong position when it comes to european energy needs
- the EC needs to make sure that we are not becoming too dependent on russian oil+gas
- a pipeline project into the Gulf-region resp. support for the Nabucco-project should be considered as strategic investment by the EC-member-states (this doesn’t conflict with my thoughts on subventions, as this is imho a strategic-issue)
