At the beginning of 2023 Bulgaria gained access to Turkey's terminals and gas transmission network under a long-term deal that would help the country replace supplies once provided by Russia.

The 36-kilometer pipeline and measurement station that will transfer the natural gas extracted from the Black Sea to the national system has been completed.

For the passage of the pipeline, many obstacles such as roads, rivers and swamps were overcome, while an "automatic welding machine" was used for the first time for "zero error."

The Polish operator of an oil pipeline says there are "no signs of any third-party interference" related to a leak in a pipeline that is the main source of crude oil from Russia to Germany.

Serbia stands to gain from Hungary's decision to take gas via Turkstream, not through Ukraine. But at what cost?

"Bulgaria is not a target for Russia because there are no strategic weapons on its territory." This was stated by the Ambassador of Russia Her Excellency Eleonora Mitrofanova on Nova TV.

She stressed that any military bases that threaten Russian security are already targets.

Natural gas supply testing from Iran to Turkey has started in limited quantities, which will alleviate natural gas cuts to the country's industrial sector from Jan. 31, Turkey's national pipeline operator Botaş has said.

If a positive decision is made, the pipeline, is expected to be put into operation by 2025
