Environment and Energy Minister Stavros Papastavrou, in an interview with SKAI today, Saturday (07/03), emphasized that Greece has adequate electricity and gas supply for the next three months and benefits from diversified supply sources, resulting in relatively limited dependence on the Gulf region. However, he noted that pressure on prices is being observed.
