Jedan drugi efekat Gazpromovog prilaska Bukureštu je veća mogućnost Rusije da uzima koncesije od zemalja koje su već potpisale sporazum za Južni tok, posebno od Bugarske, južne susjede Rumunije.
Another effect of the Gazprom overture towards Bucharest is the enhanced Russian ability to extract concessions from countries that already signed up for South Stream, especially Romania's southern neighbour, Bulgaria.
