Novinite: Bulgaria's President: Nabucco-West Retains Strategic Importance

President Rosen Plevneliev has said that Bulgaria will work to facilitate the implementation of both the Nabucco West and the South Stream gas pipeline projects.

Speaking Wednesday at the opening of the 41st Plenary Session of the General Assembly of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Black Sea Economic Cooperation, PABSEC, which is taking place July 9- July 11 at the National Palace of Culture in Sofia, Plevneliev said that apart from being a natural corridor for natural gas supplies to the European market, the Black Sea region had a rich resource potential which was yet to be explored.

Bulgaria's head of state suggested that it was very likely that the region would play an increasingly important role in the energy sphere over the next few years, adding that this would bring both benefits and responsibilities.  MORE
