(ANSA) - SOFIA - The Bulgarian section of the South Stream gas pipeline will be built despite the several requests - coming from Brussels - to stop the project, since Sofia is careless about an infringement procedure.
The decision was made last night by the direction of the Bulgarian Socialist Party (BSP), which supports the government led by Plamen Oresharski, in a coalition with the party of the Turkish minority DPS. In an interview with the newspaper Standart, the president of the Chamber of Manufacturers, Svetoslav Glossov, said that in times of crisis ''South Stream is a breath of fresh air to Bulgarian economy'' and that ''Brussels attacks the project because it is not in the hands of a company based in Western Europe''.(ANSA).
