The issue was discussed at the meeting between Bulgaria’s Deputy Premier and Minister of Foreign Affairs Ekaterina Zaharieva and Hungary’s Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade Péter Szijjártó within the frameworks of his visit to Bulgaria. Minister Szijjártó also noted that Hungary is interested in using natural gas from the extension of the Turkish Stream gas pipeline via Bulgaria and Serbia, if the project is fulfilled.
