text sizeUSA Kicking Against South Stream
The USA tried to talk the Bulgarian Government into withdrawing from the South Stream Project, The Reuters writes quoting their sources in Sofia. According to the Reuters writer, Bulgarian Government's rationale for their hesitation - the desire of the Bulgarian party to hold a 51-percent stake in the project - was a plain cover in the course of the negotiations.
The USA is deeply concerned that agreements of Russia with Bulgaria and Serbia on South Stream might enhance Moscow's influence on the energy supplies to Europe, the Reuters article reads further.
The author also writes, quoting sources from Sofia and Washington D. C., that such agreements may also become levers for political pressure.
Some Western diplomats in Sofia have also shared America's concern with Russia's intentions to cement its energy presence on the Balkans.
A spokesman of the US Department of State has told the Reuters that the USA still regards the Nabucco Project as the best option for the diversification of energy supplies in Europe.
