Russia
has
urged
Bulgaria
to
decide whether to commit itself to the South Stream gas pipeline project and
Belene nuclear power plant,
Bulgaria
's
Novonite news agency reports Tuesday.
The South Stream project "is not just an intergovernmental project, it
involves the private business as well, that's why the sooner everyone knows
what they should do, the better," Novonite quoted
Russia
's
Ambassador to the European Union Vladimir Chizhov as saying.
The statement is further indication that
Russia
is
losing patience with
Bulgaria
's
foot-dragging, after OAO Gazprom (GAZP.RS) president Alexei Miller indicated
last week that South Stream might change course to exclude
Bulgaria
.
Recent statements by Bulgarian Prime Minister Boyko Borisov that his country
would be pulling out of two other high-profile energy projects, involving
Russia
--the
Belene nuclear plant and the Burgas-Alexandrupolis oil pipeline--have caused
confusion and dismay in
Russia
, the
report said.
