EU: No Thursday Energy Talks Foreseen

The European Commission does not foresee energy talks on Thursday in Bratislava, a spokeswoman said, following comments from Ukraine such a meeting could take place.

"It is not foreseen that EU Energy Commissioner Guenther Oettinger attends any quadrilateral meeting with representatives of Ukraine, Russia and Slovakia tomorrow in Bratislava," a spokeswoman said.

Earlier Ukraine's Energy Minister Yuri Prodan said the talks may take place to seek a possible solution to the country's gas crisis.
