Minister Temenuzhka Petkova accentuated on the strategic importance of the gas interconnector between Bulgaria and Greece which would boost diversification of gas supplies. The Bulgarian cabinet firmly supports the project and Bulgaria has been holding talks with the European Commission to provide additional financing, Minister Petkova pointed out. According to Greece’s Minister of Energy Giorgos Stathakis, this gas interconnection project needs additional financing from EU funds allotted both to Greece and Bulgaria.
