hungeobull-3133	Kocsis, Károly; Tiner, Tibor	Geopolitics of pipelines and Eastern Europe with especial regard to Hungary	2009	19	.pdf	application/pdf	7255	285	61	Key words: energy policy, gas pipelines, East Central Europe The global energy sector is under a continuous tension since the end of the 20th century, which is a result of the rapid growth of global energy consumption, of the skyrocketing of energy prices and the strong competition for the energy resources. The main goals of this strategy were the following: encircling the EU by gas pipelines (Nord Stream, South Stream) bypassing problematic transit countries; buying the majority of the East Caspian gas as cheap as possibly and selling as expensively as possible; bringing Kazakh oil and Turkmen gas to the West through Russian controlled pipes; making Russia’s ties with the Caspian as strong as possible; discourag- ing or killing competing EU/US backed projects (e.g. TCGP, Nabucco, TGI) and ensuring the West that Russia is reliable energy supplier (Karbuz, S. 2007).	cache/hungeobull-3133.pdf	txt/hungeobull-3133.txt
