The progress of the construction of the Southern Gas Corridor, the gas interconnector between Bulgaria and Greece and the interconnectors with other neighboring countries were among the topics of a meeting of Bulgarian President Rosen Plevneliev with Amos Hochstein, Special Envoy and Coordinator for International Energy Affairs at the US Department of State. The two pointed out that the forthcoming signing of the final investment decision will open the way for practical implementation of gas links between Bulgaria and Greece. According to the Bulgarian head of state, it was important for the region that the development of the EU energy union started from the Balkans and that a regional energy market was created, which would be a prerequisite for achieving competitive energy prices.
