Abstract
The issue of commercial gas relations between the EU and Russia remains one the most discussable topics, especially taking into consideration the fact that such relations are regulated by the bilateral treaties between each EU member state and Russia. Although the recent EU legal trends in the gas sector are directed to cover all bilateral treaties between each EU member state and Russia, as gas exporter, however, each EU member state has its own history of such relations.
Article analyzes the case of the Czech- Russian gas relations, the issue of interconnection between the monopolistic gas producer and supplier from the one side, and the state-receiver and transit state from the other side.
