Dear Madam or Sir,

the Nord Stream 2 natural gas pipeline has become a bone of contention of the EU’s foreign policy. While Berlin still holds the view that the planned pipeline is primarily a commercial project, Moscow emphasizes its geopolitical importance. In our working paper 19/2018, Frank Umbach argues that Germany should stop neglecting the interests of Eastern European EU member states. You will find the paper on our website: https://www.baks.bund.de/en/working-papers

The Security Policy Working Papers are intended to stimulate debate and help explain current issues.

We hope you enjoy reading them!

Best regards,

Dr. Karl-Heinz Kamp
