Cílem tohoto článku je zjistit, nakolik byla sekuritizace ruského plynovodu South Stream ze strany Evropské komise úspěšná. Komise chtěla, aby se dotčené členské země EU vzdaly plynovodu South Stream a podpořily konkurenční plynovod Nabucco. Diskurzivní analýza ukázala, že všechny zúčastněné země uznaly bezpečnost dodávek coby referenční objekt. Neakceptovaly však opatření nabízená Evropskou komisí, a sice přijetí nadnárodního přístupu k energetické bezpečnosti a úpravu již uzavřených mezivládních dohod s Ruskem. Místo toho tyto členské státy přišly s alternativním diskurzem, jímž se sekuritizaci aktivně bránily. Evropská komise dokázala projekt plynovodu South Stream zablokovat až po přímém, nediskurzivním zásahu proti Bulharsku, které po zahájení řízení o porušení práva projekt formálně pozastavilo. Zúčastněné země tento zásah akceptovaly, ale nesouhlasily s ním.

This article discusses why Russia replaced the South Stream project with the TurkStream by changing its route and name, and why Turkey is involved in a project on the North-South line although it plays a vital role in the Trans-Anatolia Natural Gas Pipeline (TANAP) project in the southern gas corridor. The article first examines the Russia-Ukraine natural gas crisis. It then moves to analyze the reasons behind Russia’s changing of the name and the route of the South Stream project. After exploring Turkey’s involvement in the project, the article concludes by arguing that both countries adopted a win-win approach toward the project that Russia has gained a significant tariff advantage and freedom from the EU third-party-access rule. The article claims that although both Russia and Turkey have different perspectives on some issues in international politics, they can develop their cooperation with a win-win approach in the TurkStream project.

Subject The implications of the EU's planned Energy Union for the Western Balkans. Significance The cancellation of the South Stream gas pipeline underlined the exposure of the non-EU countries in the Western Balkans to EU energy policy. The EU's planned Energy Union will have implications for these states, which are grouped in the EU-backed Energy Community. Impacts The Energy Union's over-focus on gas could hold back development of the Western Balkans's greater potential in renewables. The Energy Union's potential may not be fully realised if the EU and Western Balkan do not deepen and widen regional ties. Small markets will exacerbate lack of funding from both state and private sources for major infrastructure projects.

Significance Mestan also implied that Borisov and Dogan were allied in promoting Russian interests in Bulgarian politics -- while Bulgaria's 'yellow press' accuses him of being a Turkish puppet. On January 13, Borisov dismissed reports that he was keen to revive the South Stream gas pipeline project, but confirmed that Bulgaria was lobbying the European Commission for a Varna gas hub that would revive at least the underwater part of South Stream bringing Russian natural gas to Europe. Impacts DPS realignment will strengthen Borisov's hand domestically, but alienate Turkey and worry the United States. His interest in a gas hub enjoys overwhelming support in both government and opposition, with only about 20 deputies likely to oppose it. Broadly coinciding with Russian interests, the hub must now secure EU financial and political support, in the teeth of US opposition.

The Russian natural gas industry is the world's largest producer and transporter of natural gas. This paper identifies the benefits for Serbia as transient country to European Union for Russian natural gas through South Stream gas-line in the current political context of implementation of gas agreement. On the other hand, according to the Agreement on Stabilization and Integration to European Union, Serbia is obligatory to implement reforms in energy sector and its energy policy must be in accordance with the European Union policy. Republic of Serbia has produced and consumed natural gas domestically since 1952, but has always been net importer. Strategy of Energy Development in Serbia and especially, National Action Plan for the gasification on the territory of Republic of Serbia dedicated special attention to gas economy development in respect with expected contribution in efficient energy use and environmental policy protection in the country.

Significance In the weeks after the energy earthquake generated by Russian President Vladimir Putin's announcement that Russia was cancelling plans to construct the South Stream gas pipeline across the Black Sea, tremors and aftershocks are still reverberating around South-Eastern Europe. Hopes that the announcement was a bluff intended to increase Russia's bargaining power with Brussels, or that South Stream can be revived, seem misconceived. Impacts Passing the blame for the cancellation onto the EU is unlikely to work, in part thanks to the way in which Putin broke the news. Russia will lose significant leverage over the participant countries, particularly those in Eastern and South-Eastern Europe. The biggest winner could be the EU, assuming it steps into the energy vacuum and helps countries secure alternative supply routes.

In this research evolution of austenite grain size in Nb-microalloyed steels X65÷X120 grades during slab reheating and roughing rolling was studied. A mathematical model has been development to obtain the target temperature and soaking time in furnace, which ensure a uniform austenite structure and maximum possible dissolution of the carbonitride particles prior to roughing rolling. The Hot Rolling Recrystallization Model (HRRM) has also development to predict the austenite microstructure evolution during roughing rolling. The model is based on empirical equations and organized following a tree-structure. A validation of the model has been carried out in the laboratory by multipass compression tests. The models jointly have been used to create new strategies of processing technology of rolled plates on rolling mill 5000 for the South Stream pipeline. The industrial application has confirmed a great benefit of the models in point of cold resistance of rolled plates.

AbstractWe analyze the impact of three controversial pipeline projects on the power structure in the Eurasian network for natural gas. Two pipelines, “Nord Stream” and “South Stream,” allow Russian gas to bypass transit countries, Ukraine and Belarus. The third project, “Nabucco,” aims at diversifying Europe’s gas imports by accessing producers in Middle East and Central Asia. If network power is measured with the Shapley Value we obtain a clear ranking of the projects which corresponds to the observed investment patterns. Nord Stream’s strategic value is huge, easily justifying the high investment cost for Germany and Russia. The additional leverage obtained through South Stream is much smaller and Nabucco is not viable. For the nucleolus in contrast, none of the pipelines has any strategic relevance at all, which contradicts the empirical evidence on investment.

The pillars of the Russian political power are as follows: nuclear power, the United Nations veto power, possession and trade in energy products. In comparison with other countries on the international energy market Russia has enormous energy and mineral resources. It uses them as an instrument of pursuing of its foreign policy and gaining regional and global power. Building of the South Stream enables Russia to expand its power in the Mediterranean, South Europe and in the African pipeline areas. Russia has developed several projects covering a broader Euro-Asian and Mediterranean area. In this way, it has positioned itself for a global energy acting through which it attempts to achieve its aim of exerting its global political influence establishing itself as a global energy super power.
