Bad communication is the reason of controversial information about the future of the Burgas-Alexandroupolis oil line, according to Bulgaria's Regional Minister, Rosen Plevneliev.

Plevneliev spoke Saturday, in an interview for Darik radio.

On Friday, at a meeting with EU Ambassadors to Bulgaria, Prime Minister, Boyko Borisov, said Bulgaria is pulling gout of the project, which was followed by an official press release of the cabinet, explaining the government will, after all, wait for the official environmental assessment, followed again by new comments on the part of the PM, forecasting a negative assessment. Economy Minister, Traicho Traikov, at first appeared stunned by Borisov’s words, and declared the issue has not been discussed and the cabinet had not made an official decision on the oil line.

Plevneliev told the Darik radio host that there isn’t a problem and controversy, just a crack in communication, adding he can only offer the same explanation about the other headline news made by the PM Friday – the freeze of the project to build a second Nuclear power Plant in the Danube town of Belene.

“The construction has been frozen, but the project itself is revamped. We want Belene, but without State money. We also want Burgas-Alexandroupolis, but only after we see the environment assessment,” Plevneliev explained.
