Infrastructure Minister Jernej Vrtovec discussed ways for Slovenia to reduce its reliance on Russian natural gas as he and Qatari Minister for Energy Affairs Saad Sherida Al-Kaabi discussed how to transport up to two ships of Qatari gas a year to Slovenia through LNG terminals in the northern Adriatic.
While free terminal capacity must be secured first, Slovenia “took a great step forward to diversify our gas supplies as Qatar is interested in cooperation too”, said Vrtovec, who accompanied President Borut Pahor on his official visit to Qatar together with Environment Minister Andrej Vizjak.
