By signing the deal on South Stream, Turkey gave its consent for a section of the link to cross its territorial waters in the Black Sea, which will allow Russia to avoid passing through Ukrainian waters.
Potpisivanjem sporazuma o Južnom toku Turska je dala pristanak da jedan deo veze prolazi kroz njene teritorijalne vode u Crnom moru, što će omogućiti Rusiji da izbegne prelazak preko ukrajinskih voda.
