The construction of Nord Stream-2 gas pipeline is proceeding according to an agreed schedule, chairman of the board of directors of Russian energy giant Gazprom said Friday.
"It's going fine ... everything is going according to the schedule that has been agreed upon," Viktor Zubkov was quoted by Russian media as saying.
Zubkov added that no serious obstacles in the implementation of the project have been seen so far.
Nord Stream 2 is a joint venture of Gazprom and five European companies.
It is designed to deliver 55 billion cubic meters of Russian natural gas annually to the European Union via the Baltic Sea and Germany, and is expected to be put into operation by the end of 2019.
