Each country involved into the South Gas Corridor project must safeguard its safety, Marosh Shefchovich, European Commission Vice President for Energy Union, told journalists on February 12, 2015.

He said at the moment the South Gas Corridor is a priority for Europe.

Shefchovich added that today participants of the first session of the Consultative Council of the South Gas Corridor have discussed the issues of further advancement of the project and the problems, which could arise during its implementation.

He said the South Gas Corridor is a big and complex project and all countries and companies must establish a close cooperation for its implementation.
