German ambassador to Poland says Nord Stream II pipeline a mistake

The German ambassador to Poland said the pipelines of Nord Stream II and Nord Stream I were a mistake.

The Russian gas pipelines, which travel through the Baltic Sea to Germany, have been rejected by the Polish government, which has said they increase Europe's dependence on Russian energy.

The EU's eastern and western members had a wary relationship over the pipelines, leading to clashes over the pipelines.

Thomas Bagger said the European Union will never be a conflict-free zone. It is rather a method of peacefully balancing the interests of its members, it is a type of institutionized dispute that takes place according to established rules.
