If the route of the construction of the South Stream main gas pipeline goes through Crimea, its cost may decrease by $2 billion, specialists of a popular magazine think.
Previously, analysts of Ukrainian Centre of globalistics talked about possibility of the route adjustment and even published maps of alternative laying of the pipeline.
These maps show that if South Stream is constructed through Crimea, the most expensive marine section of the pipe can be cut by twice.
