"The passage of the gas pipeline is a very positive thing for Serbia. … It strengthens the country's geostrategic position and it will bring annual revenues … If Serbia gets the pipeline, then it is worth the sacrifice regarding the oil industry," French Ambassador to Belgrade Jean-Francois Terral said.
"Prolazak plinovoda vrlo je pozitivna stvar za Srbiju. … Time se jača geostrateški položaj zemlje i to bi donosilo godišnje prihode… Ukoliko Srbija dobije plinovod tada je to vrijedno žrtve kada je u pitanju naftna industrija", izjavio je francuski veleposlanik u Beogradu Jean-Francois Terral.
