Novinite: Bulgaria Risks Losing EU Funding of EUR 45 M for Gas Link with Greece

Bulgaria may lose EUR 45 M in EU funding if the gas grid interconnection with Greece is delayed, according to former Deputy Prime Minister Daniela Bobeva.

Speaking Friday in Kardzhali, she said that the municipal councils at the three municipalities on the route of the pipeline, Kirkovo, Momchilgrad, and Kardzhali, had to adopt an urgent decision on the detailed site development plans of the conduit.

"Nobody can commit to a concrete price tag at this stage. The gas pipeline crosses 9 municipalities and all of them have to express their approval through decisions of the municipal councils," Bobeva declared, as cited by econ.bg.
