Russia’s Gazprom has announced that over the 1 January - 15 July period it has increased the supply of gas to Bulgaria by 12.6 percent as part of the policy of increasing supplies to countries which would, in the future, be among the gas consumers under the Turkish Stream project.

For Turkey the increase is by 22 percent, for Hungary – 26.6 percent, for Serbia – 47.9 percent, for Greece – 10 percent. The Turkish Stream project involves the construction of a gas pipeline across the Black Sea to the European part of Turkey and then to the border with Greece. The gas pipeline will have two lines – one for the Turkish market and the other – for the countries of southern and southeastern Europe, each with a capacity of 15.75 bn. cubic meters of gas.
