Itar-Tass: Bulgaria takes South Stream as project to improve energy security
Bulgaria considers gas project South Stream as an effective measure to improve energy security in the country, Bulgarian Foreign Minister Kristian Vigenin said in an exclusive interview with ITAR-TASS.
“The position which Bulgaria stated repeatedly is that implementation of South Stream project is important in view of diversification of gas delivery routes and in economic aspect,” the Bulgarian foreign minister said.
“We believe that all projects which can diversify sources and routes should be taken as part of measures to improve energy security. We consider South Stream as a European project, not only because several EU states participate in it, but also because it should match European legislation and standards as a European project,” the minister noted.
