Russian President Vladimir Putin has called on Greece and Bulgaria to reach a final agreement as soon as possible. "If the Bulgarian and Greek partners fail to reach accord, we will have to boost our exports through the territory of other countries," Putin said during his annual news conference on February 2nd "Moreover, as Bulgaria and Greece are EU members, the EU should be highly interested in the implementation of this project," Putin said.
Ruski predsednik Vladimir Putin pozvao je Grčku i Bugarsku da postignu konačni sporazum što je pre moguće. “Ukoliko bugarski i grčki partneri ne postignu sporazum, moraćemo da pojačamo svoj izvoz preko teritorija drugih zemalja,” rekao je Putin na svojoj godišnjoj konferenciji za novinare 2. februara. “Štaviše, pošto su Bugarska i Grčka članice EU, EU bi trebalo da bude itekako zainteresovana za primenu ovog projekta,” rekao je Putin.
