(ANSA-AP) - BUCHAREST, MARCH - Romania's prime minister says
a number of European countries need to diversify energy sources
to lessen dependence on Russian gas.
Ahead of a meeting of Balkan leaders, Premier Viorica Dancila
said a planned gas pipeline pumping Romanian gas from the Black
Sea to Bulgaria, Hungary to Austria could provide "a new source
... of gas for a series of European states who are heavily
reliant on a unique foreign supplier." Many European countries
rely on Russia for their gas.
Romania hosts a meeting of leaders from Bulgaria, Greece and
Serbia Friday in a resort north of the Romanian capital as part
of a regular initiative to foster cooperation.
Ahead of that meeting, Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras
said the Balkans should become "a motor of European
development," not "a warehouse." (ANSA-AP).
