EurActiv.com reports.
According to the Greek daily Kathimerini, energy cooperation will be
at the heart of talks between Greek Foreign Minister Nikos Kotzias and
his counterparts from Turkey, Serbia, the Former Yugoslav Republic of
Macedonia and Hungary to be held in Budapest on Tuesday.
During the meeting, which takes place ahead of Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras’s two-day visit to Moscow on Wednesday, foreign ministers are expected to explore their potential participation in Russian plans for the new Turkish Stream pipeline. The aim is to adopt a joint declaration of interest in the project, Kathimerini writes.
The pipeline, announced by Russian President Vladimir Putin in Ankara in December, would replace the South Stream project and bypass Ukraine, as well as Bulgaria, which stopped the South Stream project.
