The update on the pipeline, known as the Greece-Bulgaria interconnector, was provided by Bulgaria’s prime minister Monday and comes as Bulgaria’s new government seeks to reduce its decadeslong dependence on Russian gas and to adopt an agenda that is more closely aligned with those of its EU and NATO allies.
"In this situation, there cannot be talks with Gazprom," Vasilev said in an interview with Bulgarian National Radio."There are alternatives."In the meantime, the country will also look at alternative suppliers to avoid a shortfall. Bulgaria is currently in talks “with both Greece and Turkey” to use existing infrastructure for imports of liquefied natural gas, or LNG, Vasilev said, and plans to ramp up its existing imports from Azerbaijan.
"This is not just a Bulgarian position: This is a common European strategy," Vasilev said, referring to a plan outlined by EU leaders in Versailles earlier this month to phase out Russian energy imports “as soon as possible.”
