World Bulletin: Bulgaria expects final solution for South Stream
Bulgaria awaits a final settlement on the South Stream pipeline issue following Russian leader Putin’s announcement about the cancellation of the project in Turkey on Dec. 2.
The Ministers of Energy of Bulgaria and Russia, Temenuika Petkova and Alexander Novak, will discuss the future of the pipeline project by phone on Friday, according to Bulgarian Energy Ministry officials.
"It’s hard to explain to people that if the South Stream goes through Bulgaria it will be bad, but if it goes through Turkey and Greece it will be better," said Bulgaria's Prime Minister Boyko Borisov.
