A large part of Europe, especially Eastern, Northern, Central, and
South-Central Europe including the Balkans, has been dependent on
Russian natural gas since the Soviet times. Little changed with the
breakup of the Soviet Union as Russia was no longer perceived as a
strategic adversary. Moreover, Russia's dependence on gas sales in
Europe as a source of important revenue for the state-owned Gazprom
was considered a guarantee against the use of gas supply as a
strategic tool by Moscow. However, a dependence on the Russian
energy supply resulting from a system of pipelines built back
during the Cold War has increasingly proved to be a disrupting,
negative factor in European energy security. This dependence
already has negatively manifested itself several times throughout
the region and has a potential to massively disrupt European
military, economic, and humanitarian situations if a substantial
and/or prolonged interruption of the gas supply occurs.
