According to the same source which is taking part at the construction of the pipeline, the official inauguration ceremony is postponed due to the coronavirus epidemic, BGNES reports.

Balkan Stream is an extension of Turk Stream gas pipeline project. The Bulgarian-Serbian section will allow additional supplies of Russian natural gas for Serbia and Hungary.
