Russia prepared to approve transport of Kazakh oil to Germany via Druzhba - Deputy PM Novak

MOSCOW. Dec 29 (Interfax) - Russia is prepared to approve Kazakhstan's application for the transport of Kazakh oil to Germany through the Druzhba pipeline, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak told journalists.

"Yes, this issue has been worked through. We relate to this normally, and if a portion of Kazakh oil is redirected from Ust-Luga to Druzhba, that's fine," Novak said.

Novak said yes to a question on whether Russia will support such an application should it come in.
