“Bulgaria has a “new level of security of natural gas supply” and is making huge investments in energy, so as to be a “geostrategic country and to transit across 100% Bulgarian infrastructure,” said Prime Minister Boyko Borissov while  inspecting the compressor station at Petrich. Via the station Bulgaria will receive gas from Azerbaijan until the interconnector with Greece is completed. Boyko Borissov stated that this will ensure “full diversification for generations to come”.

As of today Serbia is receiving Russian gas through the Bulgarian extension of TurkStream gas pipeline.
