Bulgarian Prime Minister Boyko Borissov has announced that the government supports Russia’s plans to expand its gas connection with Germany. Days ago Bulgaria was said to be one of the 10 countries that had expressed concerns that the “Nord Stream 2” project might harm the interests of the EU and could lead to destabilization of Ukraine. However, PM Borissov said Bulgaria would not sign a letter stating that the project should be subjected to greater regulation and control and calling for a debate during the EU summit next month. “I will defend the position for the construction of Nord Stream II and a gas hub in Bulgaria – it is advantageous for this country and nobody can reproach me for that,” Borissov told Reuters reporters.
