Bulgarian diplomat: no official notification South Stream project scrapped

MOSCOW. March 2 (Interfax) - Bulgaria has yet to receive official notification from the Russian side concerning the decision to drop the South Stream gas pipeline project, Bulgarian Ambassador to Russia Boyko Kotsev said in Moscow on Monday.

"We respect the announcements that the Russian side has made on this issue, but we await official notification concerning the halt to implementation of South Stream," Kotsev said in response to a question from an Interfax correspondent.

"There are contracts, but no one has officially notified us of a halt in operations," he said.
