The Russian Embassy in Bulgaria made a sharp statement on the remarks made by Prime Minister Kirill Petkov to Russian President Vladimir Putin in connection with the implementation of the project to expand the Bulgarian gas transportation network and extend the Turkish Stream gas pipeline.
“We drew attention to the undiplomatic, sharp and rude comment of the head of the Bulgarian government to Russian President Vladimir Putin in the context of the project to expand the Bulgarian gas transportation network, the extension of the Turkish Stream gas pipeline in Bulgaria,” the embassy said.
The country’s diplomatic mission notes on its official Facebook page that the pipeline has become the largest infrastructure project in Bulgaria since 1974 (the last such project was the Kozloduy NPP, built by the Soviet company Toploelectroelectro in cooperation with Bulgaria’s Energoprolect).
“Instead of basic thanks for the quick and successful implementation of the project, which is not only mutually beneficial for our countries, but also made a significant contribution to strengthening energy security in Southeast Europe and diversifying energy supplies, we hear only unwarranted attacks,” the Russian embassy said. positions.
