PRAGUE (Sputnik) — On Monday, nine Central and Eastern European countries, led by Poland and Slovakia, had sent a letter to European Council President Donald Tusk asking him to block the construction of the Nord Stream-2 due to energy security concerns.

The Nord Stream-2 project, which plans to use the original Nord Stream pipeline for 86-percent of the route before branching off, could provide up to 55 billion cubic meters of direct gas supplies from the Russian shores through the Baltic Sea to the coast of Germany.

In September, Gazprom signed a shareholder agreement on the extension of the pipeline with the international energy companies BASF, E.ON, Engie, OMV and Shell.
