"We had different views on the Nord Stream issue," Merkel told reporters after meeting Morawiecki in Berlin.
"We think this is an economic project. We are also for energy diversification. We also want Ukraine to continue to have transit gas traffic, but we believe Nord Stream poses no danger to diversification," she added.
