Description

Interview with Vyacheslav Matuzov, spokesman for Russia’s state-controlled gas company Gazprom, following the announcement of a ceasefire in Bosnia. Hopes the latest ceasefire might come into effect have been boosted after Russia said it had turned on the gas supplies to the country. The ceasefire had been due to start at midnight on Tuesday but was delayed after Bosnian officials accused Russia of breaking the truce by failing to resume gas shipments. Male interviewer not identified.
