Abstract:

Práce analyzuje energetickou bezpečnost Visegrádské skupiny, včetně energetických surovin a jejich diverzifikace. Vyvážený energetický mix je důležitý pro všechny země V4. Analýza se týká také surovin, které jsou pro dané země relevantní. Kvůli plynové krizi se země V4 dohodly na bližší energetické spolupráci.

Abstract:

My work analyses energy security in Visegrad countries, including some energetic feedstocks, to ensure supply diversification. Balanced energy mix is important for all countries. In my thesis I focused on energy mixes in V4 countries and tried to analyze, which feedstock is more relevant. I asked questions, whether states have some possibility of supply diverzification, which comes mostly from Russia. Small diversification is counspicuous problem, because states can be threatened in absence of supplies. For instance Visegrad countries were threatened lack of gas, which was one of the main dispute between Russia and Ukraine. Because of that there was a gas crisis induced which hit mainly Slovakia. Due to gas crisis in 2009 Visegrad states agreed to closer cooperation in energy security. In these days is can be seen on one main project, which is for all members V4 relevant. Coopearate on North-South koridor, which can secure diversification to countries. Their cooperation isn´t focused only on this pipeline, but have more plans for their common security. They want to work also on nuclear issues. Today is only Poland, who has not Nuclear Power Plant. It can be sen by other members as oportunity to help Poland in this topic.
