Bulgaria Hopes to Reach Agreement on Construction of Gas Hub With Russia
18:47 GMT 02.09.2015 (Updated: 18:48 GMT 02.09.2015) Bulgaria hopes to reach an agreement with Russia on a joint project on the construction of a natural gas hub on its soil, Bulgarian Ambassador to Russia Boyko Kotzev said Wednesday.
SAMARA (Sputnik) — In June, Russian Energy Minister Alexander Novak said that Bulgaria had tabled a gas hub proposal.
"Let us give an opportunity to our experts to do their job. I am an optimist and I am convinced that everything [a deal on the construction of the hub] will be [signed]" Kotzev told RIA Novosti.

The ambassador added that the two countries would promote cooperation in various spheres and find a solution to the problems resulting from the cancellation of Russia's South Stream gas pipeline.
In December 2014, Moscow announced the cancellation of South Stream that was to transport Russian gas to South Europe following a deadlock with Brussels over its anti-monopoly legislation. The pipeline was to run across the Black Sea and make landfall in Bulgaria, with Sofia as its gateway and main beneficiary.
