Bulgaria's Economy Minister Bozhidar Lukarski announced on Sunday Sofia
is still waiting for an official notice saying the South Stream project
is over.
Lukarski told Darik Radio it was not yet clear how much the country
would lose if the project is really scrapped. In his words, Russian
President Vladimir Putin's estimate of 400 billion euros is "an
ephemeral number".
The minister called for conformity of the project to EU rules.
A number of Russian officials have already asserted South Stream is
deemed over in Moscow, but the EU Commission is still adamant it should
carry out talks with member countries that are parties to the project.
The meeting is due on December 9.
