Former member of the RZS party leadership, Dimitar Abadzhiev, has reportedly been nominated to represent Bulgaria in the Nabucco Gas Pipeline International company.
Abadzhiev, who resigned from the conservative Order, Law and Justice party (RZS) in February, stated Friday that he was proposed to represent Bulgaria after holding talks with Bulgaria PM Boyko Borisov 2-3 weeks ago. He added that Borisov had stated the huge importance of the project during his recent visit to the UK.
Abadzhiev continued; “Currently, international diplomacy is energy diplomacy. This proposal is not political, it's an expertise and diplomatic proposal.”
According to Abadzhiev the reason for his nomination is that he has always made it clear that Bulgaria must shake off its energy dependence on Russia and for this purpose his international experience will be used.
“If there has been some confusion as to whether GERB is a right-wing party, after the recent argument with President Parvanov it has now become clear that they are.... Parvanov is an apologist for the Russian energy influence, why doesn’t he publish the transcripts of his meetings with Russian PM Putin or Gazprom CEO Miller?” Abadzhiev concluded.
Regarding his exit from RZS, Abadzhiev said that he had “joined the party as the Chair of the European Democratic Institute, a conservative project, to be recognized by the European Conservatives. He added that after the European Conservative Party registered without RZS in November it became clear that he would no longer be useful to the party.
