The latest map of the South Stream gas line has stirred bewilderment in Serbia. Map by bg.wikipedia.org
The "South Stream" map, showing the gas line steering way from Serbia, published just days ago on official site of the Bulgarian Energy Forum, triggers bewilderment.
The statement was made in an article in the Serbian newspaper "Blitz", cited by Darik radio's correspondent in Belgrade.
The map shows the gas line coming from Russia underneath the Black Sea and reaching Bulgaria with one branch directed to Romania towards Hungary, barely touching Serbia.
"Blitz" points out that this is very significant difference from previous maps showing the line with three entrances to Bulgaria and three branches towards Hungary with one of them passing directly through Serbia, ending in Italy.
The publication further comments that the situation becomes even more outrageous considering the fact that the "South Stream" contract is shaken by numerous squabbles between Bulgaria and Russia, which is the reason why Russia's Prime Minister, Vladimir Putin, canceled his Energy Forum participation.
"Blitz" also notes that it seems likely Bulgaria would not be able to sign a new gas contract with Russia's "Gazprom".
