Natural gas should not be a weapon, but a commodity freely traded at market prices. This is what President Rosen Plevneliev said at a news conference with his Ukrainian counterpart Petro Poroshenko.

Natural gas should be freely traded at the markets, not be an instrument for destabilization, the Bulgarian Head of State called on for.
