The agreement signed this year between the Bulgarian government and the Turkish energy company Botaş could help Russia regain its grip on gas deliveries to Europe. This is what "Politico" writes in an article about the Russian influence on the supply of gas to the EU through Bulgaria, BNR correspondent in Brussels, Angelina Piskova, informed.

The Turkish company has already announced a number of newly signed gas supply agreements with partners from Hungary, Romania and Moldova.

„The gas is almost certainly coming from Russia, which supplies Turkey via the subsea Turkstream pipelines,“ Politico writes. "With the Turkish-Bulgarian pipeline able to process up to 10 billion cubic meters of gas with some technical adjustments, that means Moscow could supply all the extra demand in southeastern Europe and the Western Balkans that's not already contracted to them", the article reads.
