Bulgaria is ready to build the South Stream main pipeline only after the EU approval.

Bulgaria is ready to build its part of the South Stream main pipeline only after the approval by the European Union, Boyko Borisov, the opposition leader and potential Prime Minister of Bulgaria, stated, neftegaz.ru informs.

He reported that the South Stream main pipeline prospects depend on the circumstances.

Boyko Borisov has made it clear that the construction of the main pipeline must comply with the European legislation.

"In the case of the victory of his party in the elections, Bulgaria will refuse to cooperate with the companies affiliated with Russian citizens against whom the sanctions were imposed by the European Union and the United States. Thus, the contract for the construction of the South Stream main pipeline, which was concluded with Stroytransgaz may be terminated as Stroytransgas is owned by Gennady Timchenko, who was sanctioned", - he stated.
