The quadrilateral gas talks involving representatives of the European Union, Ukraine, Russia and Slovakia that were scheduled for Thursday, April 24, in Bratislava, will not be held, Energy and Coal Industry Minister Yuriy Prodan has said.

"As of today we have received information that the EU commissioner won't be there, and the Russian minister won't be there, so there's no sense in me going there either," he told reporters in Kyiv on Wednesday.
