European Commission Vice-President for Energy Union Maros Sefcovic, who is to visit Moscow on January 14, said on Monday he planned to clarify Russia’s position on the South Stream project.
He said after a meeting with Bulgarian Prime Minister Boiko Borisov that it would be his first visit to Moscow in the capacity of European Commission Vice-President for Energy Union and in this capacity he would be interested to once again clarify Russia’s position on South Stream.
Sefcovic said he had already had a telephone conversation on that matter with Russian Energy Minister Alexander Novak, who had confirmed Russia’s abandonment of the South Stream project.

Bulgarian PM hopes European energy envoy’s visit to Moscow will decide South Stream future ...
ReplyDeleteThe current Moscow visit by European Commission Vice-President for Energy Union Maros Sefcovic will have a final say in the future of the South Stream gas pipeline project, Bulgaria’s Prime Minister Boiko Borisov said in an interview with the Standard newspaper on Wednesday.
“I have agreed with European envoy Sefcovic that he will inform me about the results immediately after his talks in Moscow, he will tell me whether it is Russia’s final decision to abandon the South Stream project and what Moscow thinks about the prospect of building a gas hub,” he said.
“Our energy ministry is ready to present its proposals on this project - how it can be realized and it will be managed. The European Commission will neither sell not buy gas, it will only organize transparent procedures. The project has good chances,” Borisov said, adding he hopes the Nabucco West gas project might be resumed along with the gas hub project...............http://itar-tass.com/en/economy/771036
