Standart: Hillary Clinton to Discuss Shale Gas in Bulgaria

Bulgaria has formed too many ties with Russia's energy production and this irritates Washington, believes Alex Alexiev.

What will be the main topics at Hillary Clinton's visit to Bulgaria? Will Washington insist on waiving of the ban on shale gas production in Bulgaria or not? These are some of the questions the Standart asked Alex Alexiev, the son  of Bulgarian humorist Rayko Alexiev who was killed in the end of World War II.

Eighteen year ago Mr Alex Alexiev was an advisor in the rightist government of Philip Dimitrov. He is now employed as researcher in Hudson Institute and is an expert in radical Islam. He founded in Bulgaria the Centre for Studying of the Balkans and the Black Sea Region. He lives in the USA. MORE
