Novinite: Bulgaria Will Fight for South Stream Gas Pipeline – Energy Minister
Economy and Energy Minister Dragomir Stoynev has vowed that Bulgaria will fight for the implementation of the South Stream gas pipeline project.
Stoynev told journalists Thursday that Bulgaria would comply with the decisions of the European Commission but it would seek a financial mechanism for the countries which would be negatively affected by the move.
He suggested that the South Stream gas pipeline could be stopped in the case of a victory of the European People's Party (EPP) at the upcoming European Parliament elections, adding that it would cause Bulgaria to lose millions of investments, thousands of new jobs, and gas supply security.
