Inter-connector gas links of Bulgaria with
Romania, Serbia, Greece and Turkey have become part of the energy
infrastructure projects the European Commission marks of key importance.
Out of a total of 195 key projects included in the special list of the
Commission, they are among those expected to contribute for the
strengthening of the European energy union and the diversification of
energy suppliers to Europe. Other Bulgarian projects supported as sites
of special importance, is the expansion of the Chiren gas depot, as
well as the modernization of the northern part of the national gas
grid. This country may receive European financing also for the building
of a gas distribution center, suggested by Prime Minister Boyko
Borissov after the suspension of the South Stream project.
