Improving energy connectivity in Southeast Europe is key to tackling the economic and social crisis, President Rumen Radev said at today´s meeting with US Assistant Secretary of State for Energy Resources Jeffrey Pyatt. His visit to Bulgaria is part of a regional tour that also includes Turkey and Romania.

The sides concurred that the launch of commercial operations of the Greece-Bulgaria gas interconnector ensures real diversification not just for Bulgaria but for the region as well.
