Editorial Reviews

This scientific monograph will be useful to students, professors, experts and practitioners … . The book is highly recommended because it comprises an excellent introduction regarding gas trade relations between the EU and Russia and postulates an insightful mapping of the existing and ongoing pipeline systems.
