 European Commission president: Projects such as IGB will provide Europe with sufficient gas for winter

Projects such as IGB will provide Europe with sufficient volumes of gas for winter, President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen said at the inauguration ceremony of Greece-Bulgaria Gas Interconnector in Sofia.

She noted that a new era for Bulgaria and South-Eastern Europe starts today with the commissioning of the gas pipeline. According to her, previously Bulgaria received 80% of gas from Russia, but that was before the start of Russia's war in Ukraine and its 'energy war against Europe.'

This gas pipeline is a game-changer for Bulgaria and Europe's energy security and it means freedom of dependence on Russian gas, the European Commission president said.
