Bulgartransgas EAD and eustream a.s will work towards improving the
security of natural gas deliveries in Central and Southeastern Europe and the
implementation of the infrastructure projects – gas hub Balkan and gas pipeline
Eastring, reported Bulgaria’s Energy Ministry.
This is envisaged in the Memorandum of Understanding signed on Friday by
the Bulgarian and Slovakian gas grid operators in the presence of Energy
Minister Temenuzhka Petkova.
Bulgartransgas and eustream will draft a concept for the development of the
gas hub in Bulgaria in accordance with the Eastring project. The two parties
will analyse and review in detail the technical options for the coordinated
implementation of the two projects.
An agreement confirms the linkage between the two projects. The Eastring
pipeline will serve as a priority western route for the intersystem linking of
regional markets and gas hub Balkan.
In order to guarantee the security of gas deliveries in Central and
Southeastern Europe, the memorandum envisages support for the inclusion of
other countries interested in the two projects.
