Greek PM Vows Strong Support for Burgas-Alexandroupolis Pipe

27 July 2010
Greek PM George Papandreou, who is on an official visit to Bulgaria, reiterated Greece's strong commitment to the completion of projected Burgas-Alexandroupolis oil pipeline.
Papandreou said that Greece cares about the environmental impact of the project and is expecting the assessment, but that does not detract from interest and support from the project.
He was referring to comments made multiple times by Bulgarian PM Boyko Borisov that Bulgaria is ready to give up the joint Russian-Bulgarian-Greek project over certainty that the environmental impact assessment will be negative.
