KRYNICA, Sept. 6 - The Polish government and its experts are expecting problems with future supplies of natural gas from Russia because of government control over Russian gas monopolist Gazprom, Maciej Wozniak, director of the oil and gas department of the Polish Economy Ministry, said Thursday.

"If we had guarantees that Gazprom is playing only by market rules, things wouldn't be a problem," Wozniak said during the Economic Forum in Krynica. "But Gazprom realizes the policy of the Russian government. The nation's strategy through 2030 says clearly that the fuel and gas sector are tools that support Russian foreign policy.”
