Romania and Bulgaria to jointly develop energy projects

The Act Media quoted Mr Gheorghi Parvanov President of Bulgaria in a joint press conference with his Romanian counterpart Mr Traian Basescu, as saying that Romania and Bulgaria have great cooperation potential in the energy field.
One of the topics approached by the two heads of state within their talks was the construction of one or two hydro electrical stations on the Danube. These stations could be located in Calarasi Silistra and in Turnu Magurele Nicopole. According to the two presidents, these projects could be included in the European Union Strategy for the Danube and benefit of European financing.

The two officials also discussed about the inter-connection of the two countries gas systems. Mr Parvanov highlighted the importance of this project and gave the example of the gas crisis in 2009, when Bulgaria was not able to receive gas from Romania, being the worst affected country in Europe in the wake of Russia Ukraine dispute.
