PRAGUE, Dec 30 (Reuters) - The Czech Republic is ready to provide Slovakia with gas transit and storage capacities to help it secure stable supplies if Ukraine ends a transit deal for Russian gas at the end of the year as expected, the Czech Industry Ministry said on Monday.
The ministry said Industry Minister Lukas Vlcek had written to his Slovak counterpart to say the Czech Republic could provide additional capacity, both in this heating season and on a long-term basis.
