Send to KindleBulgarian Prime Minister Sergey Stanishev will pay a working visit to Moscow from April 26 to 28, the press office of the government announced.
The visit will take place a day after the international energy summit in Sofia, which is expected to be attended by Russia's Prime Minister Vladimir Putin and precedes the EU-Caspian summit in Prague, organized by the Czech Presidency of the block.
Stanishev is expected to confer with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, with Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, with State Duma Chairman Boris Gryzlov, and with Moscow Mayor Yuri Luzhkov.
Energy projects with many unsolved issues are a highlight in the traditionally close bilateral relations between Bulgaria and Russia, including the South Stream natural gas pipeline, Belene nuclear power plant and the oil transit pipeline connecting Bulgaria's port of Burgas and Greece's Alexandroupolis.
The Bulgarian government is expected to complete talks for Russian funding for the planned EUR 4,0 B nuclear power plant at Belene. The government chose last year German power utility RWE to become a strategic partner in the Belene project with a stake of 49%. State power utility NEK has a majority stake in the plant.
