The US has been encouraging the Trans-Adriatic pipeline

(ANSA/AP) - BELGRADE - Russia's foreign minister has urged the European Union to support the idea of a Moscow-backed pipeline that would bring natural gas across the Black Sea to Turkey and the rest of Europe. Sergei Lavrov said Friday the pipeline - which could include Greece, Macedonia, Serbia and Hungary - would bring "energy stability" to Europe.

Greece's left-wing government has expressed interest in the project, dubbed Turkish Stream. The United States, however, has been encouraging the Trans-Adriatic Pipeline, which will take Azeri gas from the Caspian Sea to Italy. (ANSA/AP).
