“Bulgaria is actively working on the realisation of the goals of EU’s Energy Union – security of the deliveries, competitiveness and stability in the sector,” Bulgarian Minister of Energy Temenuzhka Petkova said speaking at the official opening of the XII International conference Security in Southeast Europe – New Geopolitical Dynamics held in the Bulgarian capital city Sofia.

“It is not easy to work in this situation in Bulgaria. You know that as a whole the country is actively dependent on one energy source, which requires diversification both of the sources and of the routes of the natural gas deliveries. This is a highly important issue and it is not by chance that this is one of the major priorities of the Bulgarian government,” Minister Petkova remarked.

In minister’s words, to realise the diversification there is a need to establish the needed infrastructure among all EU member states. According to Temenuzhka Petkova, the lack of the needed infrastructure does not allow us to speak about real diversification, energy and national security.
