Gazprom Strengthens Ties with Bosnia to Foster South Stream

Russia’s Gazprom continues its attempt to strengthen ties with European countries to promote its South Stream project.

‘Led by Alexander Medvedev, Deputy Chairman of the Gazprom Management Committee the Company's delegation paid a working visit to Bosnia and Herzegovina today,’ reads a note released on Wednesday. 

According to the document, Medvedev held meetings with several Government officials. 

‘The meetings were focused on the prospects for cooperation in the energy sector, particularly, the implementation of the South Stream project and the possible construction of a gas branch to Bosnia and Herzegovina.’

Last month, Gazprom also moved closer to Serbia, asking for a public recognition of the importance of the project.
