Romania has confirmed its interest in participating in the Russian natural gas pipeline project South Stream.
This has been announced by the Gazprom press center after a meeting between the Vice President of Gazprom, Alexander Medvedev, and the Romanian Economy and Energy Minister Adrian Videanu.
During the meeting, Medvedev and Videanu discussed the cooperation in the sector of natural gas supplies, storage, and transit, as well as electricity production.
Medvedev has expressed his opinion that the energy cooperation between Russia and Romania would deepen; he pointed out that in 2009, the two countries marked 30 years since the first Russian natural gas supplies to Romania. In 2009, Russia sold to Romania 2,04 billion cubic meters of gas.
The South Stream natural gas transit pipeline is supposed to go from Russia to Bulgaria via the Black Sea proceeding to Italy and Greece.
Various reports have raised alarm that Romania might replace Bulgaria as part of the South Stream pipeline as the Bulgarian government of Boyko Borisov decided to review the project.
