Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayipp Erdogan will arrive in Bulgaria on an official visit in September.
In the course of the visit, Erdogan will meet with Bulgarian counterpart Boyko Borisov, President Georgi Parvanov and other senior officials, according to reports.
The agenda of the talks will include the implementation of the Nabucco gas pipeline and bilateral relations between the two countries.
Nabucco is supposed to become "the new gas bridge from Asia to Europe." It will directly connect the world's richest gas regions - the Caspian region and the Middle East, to the European consumer markets. The pipeline will link the Eastern border of Turkey, to Baumgarten in Austria - one of the most important gas turntables in Central Europe - via Bulgaria, Romania and Hungary. The Nabucco gas pipeline is supposed to reduce EU's energy dependence on Russia by bringing in natural gas from the Caspian region, Central Asia, and the Middle East.
In spite of the new progress, in May 2011, Nabucco Gas Pipeline International GmbH pushed back the start of construction of its EUR 7.9 B pipeline to carry Caspian natural gas to Europe to 2013; thus, Nabucco is now expected to start operations in 2017 instead of 2015, as previously expected.
One month ago, Prime Minister Borisov was on a visit to Turkey where the political leaders of the two countries expressed their mutual desire to fast-track the gas pipeline project.
