There is not turning back for Bulgaria's Kozloduy power plant and its units 3&4 that were closed in January, EU Energy Commissioner Andris Piebalgs said Friday at the international conference on energy in Sofia.

The fate of Kozloduy was decided way back in 1999, he added.

He said units 3&4 will not be re-opened and this is the position of the European Commission, which he strongly supports. The issue will be discussed later in the day with Bulgaria's Prime Minister Sergey Stanishev.

The other topics that Stanishev and Piebalgs will discuss are the security of the energy supplies in Europe and Bulgaria's role in them.

"Your country has an extremely important geographical and strategical placement in the map of Europe for the transit of oil and natural gas," Piebalgs said and added that the country is energy-dependent on Russia because decades in the past the two countries connected their infrastructure.
