on 1st of July, Bulgarian Foreign Minister Daniel Mitov and his Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov discussed energy cooperation between the two countries. The two ministers are taking part in a meeting of the Organization of the Black Sea Economic Cooperation Council of Foreign Ministers in Sochi.

It is not yet clear whether Russia will join the project for a gas hub in Bulgaria but Mitov highlighted that all energy projects on the territory of the country had to comply with the EU legislation.

This meeting was the first one between the foreign ministers of Bulgaria and Russia in two years.

Minister Mitov and Minister Lavrov discussed the overall trade and economic relations but the energy matters were the main topic.

Lavrov did not comment the talks he had with Mitov but at the start of the meeting highlighted the importance of a direct dialogue.

Security issues in the region were the topic of the 34th meeting of the Council of the foreign ministers of the Organization of the Black Sea Economic Cooperation, as well as the topic of the bilateral talks between Mitov and Lavrov. Bulgaria’s foreign minister emphasized to his Russian counterpart that NATO was not a threat to Russia.

Within the forum in Sochi, a bilateral meeting took place between Minister Mitov and his Turkish counterpart Mevlut Cavusoglu, who gave assurances that Turkey would continue to fulfill its commitments to deter illegal trafficking of migrants on Bulgaria-Turkey border.
