"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 gasovoda je vrlo pozitivna stvar za Srbiju. …Time se jača geostrateška pozicija zemlje i to bi donosilo godišnje prihode… Ako Srbija dobije gasovod onda je to vredno žrtve kada je u pitanju naftna industrija", izjavio je francuski ambasador u Beogradu Žan-Fransoa Teral.
