Ukraine , which is trying to reduce its dependence on Russian gas supplies, may receive gas from Europe via Slovakia , the European Commissioner for Energy was quoted as saying.

"I expect that next winter the reverse transit corridor via
Slovakia will be open," the Kommersant-Ukraine daily cited him as saying in an interview.

Ukraine says gas supplies from Russia , its main source, are too expensive. The government is trying to diversify its supplies, and already has an agreement with RWE AG (RWE.XE) to import gas from Europe .

Ukraine has for months tried without success to renegotiate its contract with Russia . Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych met Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin in Moscow on Monday, but no breakthrough was announced.
