This is a silly idea. It may not lead to anything, "said the businessman reporters on the margins of the conference" Ukraine tomorrow ", in which He presented the development together with European politicians and experts of the Agency for the improvement of Ukraine.
Firtash said that the attempt to take under observation "germane" (regional company for gas supply and gasification) Is wrestling with the regions of Ukraine." It is not a fight with me, It is a struggle with the regions. I think It's nothing, " said He.

She expressed great hope that "Naftogaz" will give his "daughter" in the management of the network, so that It became the operator of the regional transportation system.
