06/12/2010 (Agence Europe) - No political dimensions for North Stream and South Stream, says Medvedev. “Anyone looking to present the planned gas pipeline projects North Stream and South Stream as an attempt on Moscow's part to make Europe dependent on Russian energy products is guilty of dishonest and unjustified manipulation. These projects are advantageous for both sides and have no political dimensions (…). Russia wants to sell its gas to the largest possible number of consumers. Europe wants to buy gas to process it and heat its houses. These are major projects involving the political agreement of a number of states”, the Russian President Dmitri Medvedev told the Polish media on the eve of the EU-Russia summit held in Brussels on 7 December.
