To reduce the politicization of the energy sector, experts from Russia, Serbia and Turkey called for a discussion in Sofia on the development of gas projects in the Balkans.

During the forum, Bulgartransgaz reported that in the deep-water drilling of the Black Sea  near Burgas, there are still no oil and gas.

Gazprom's Nord Stream 2 pipeline may get Chinese financing if European companies are forced out of the project by the latest round of US sanctions, business daily Vedomosti reports.

Russian officials have already contacted Chinese banks, sources have told the media.
