"I highly appreciate Azerbaijan's role in Europe's energy security," Slovenian Prime Minister Janez Janša said in remarks to journalists ahead of the European Political Community summit, APA's correspondent dispatched to Dublin reports.
"I remember the struggle we waged 25 years ago to extend the South Stream project. The aim was to ensure that Europe would not remain dependent on a single source of energy supply, particularly Russia. Unfortunately, our efforts were unsuccessful. If that project had been implemented, the whole of Europe would be in a completely different situation today. Therefore, the energy potential of the Caspian basin is of great importance for Europe's energy security. Azerbaijan is important not only in terms of security issues but also, first and foremost, because of the rich energy resources of the Caspian basin. It is in our common interest that all these energy sources contribute to Europe's strategic autonomy," he noted.
