Bulgarian PM Boyko Borisov has stated in an inverview for ITAR-TASS that he is "wholeheartedly" backing the controversial Russian-sponsored Belene NPP project.
This news comes only minutes after it was revealed that Russian PM Vladimir Putin is coming to Bulgaria to discuss key matters of mutual economic interest for the two countries.
That includes the three major joint energy projects that the Bulgarian government under Borisov has been chronically ambivalent about: the South Stream natural gas pipeline, the Bourgas-Alexandroupoli oil pipe, and Belene NPP.
???????"I view the building of Belene NPP as extremely important, for otherwise by 2020 Bulgaria will be having serious problems with electricity production, while neighboring Turkey will ??already have four NPPs at its disposal," said the Bulgarian PM Tuesday.
Borisov caused a strain to Bulgarian-Russian relations over the summer when he issued various statements to the effect that his country is not particularly interested in Belene or South Stream. But that was only to warm up some weeks later following a visit to Sofia by Russian vice-PM Viktor Zubkov.
Tuesday Borisov also supported the South Stream pipe as favorable for Bulgaria.
This information comes only a day after the Russian paper Nezavisimaya Gazeta published a large article claiming that Borisov has ruined the geopolitical position of both Russia and Russian gas giant Gazprom in the Black Sea region.
