Serbia "must postpone start of South Stream construction"

BELGRADE -- Bulgaria's decision to suspend work to build South Stream at the request of the European Commission means that Serbia will have "postpone the start of works."

This is according to Deputy Prime Minister Zorana Mihajlović.

Prime Minister Plamen Oresharski announced the suspension on Sunday after meeting US senators John McCain, Christopher Murphy and Ron Johnson.

“I have ordered all work to be stopped. We will decide on further developments following consultations with Brussels,” Oresharski told journalists.

Russian officials reacted to the order of Bulgaria's PM Oresharski to temporarily suspend the construction of the South Stream pipeline in Bulgaria until it complies with EU law.
