Russia and Slovenia signed an agreement late Saturday for cooperation on the South Stream natural gas pipeline project allowing the section from Bulgaria to Italy to be started.
The accord was signed by Russian Energy Minister Sergei Shmatko and his Slovenian counterpart Matej Lahovnik, in Moscow.
This final agreement allows the South Stream project to go ahead as Russia has signed other similar deals with Bulgaria, Serbia, Hungary and Greece.
There will be no such agreement with Italy as the latter is the final point of the pipeline's route and an Italian company is to take part in building the pipeline.
