European Commission vice president Kristalina Georgieva is quoted by AFP as saying Russia's sudden announcement of a halt to the South Stream gas pipeline project highlights the need for the EU to find new energy sources.
"Russia's decision to stop South Stream and the way it was taken show why the diversification of the energy sources is important for Europe," Georgieva, whose native Bulgaria is at the heart of the dispute over the pipeline, told reporters. "The commission will closely examine the consequences of this decision and how we can speed up the interconnection of member states."
