Bulgaria is among those poised to score the biggest gain from the European Energy Union in terms of energy security, improved connectedness with neighbor countries, and energy diversification, according to Maros Sefcovic, Vice President of the European Commission, in charge of Energy Union.

Sefcovic, who was on an official visit to Bulgaria, told the Bulgarian National Television that EU Member States and countries seeking to join the EU Energy Union had agreed that they needed improved connectedness, self-reliance, and diversification of energy sources.

He pointed out that it would be very advantageous for Bulgaria if it could secure gas deliveries from three different sources.
Sefcovic noted that the Commission was working on a strategy to that effect, analyzing the best ways to achieve the goal.
He emphasized the importance of projects such as the Southern Gas Corridor which were aimed at delivering Caspian gas to Europe.
