During an on-line interview with Romanian media, Romanian Economy Minister Adriean Videanu said his country will join the South Stream gas pipeline project. Videanu said, "We have been able to start a dialogue, including with Russia. South Stream will pass through Romania". He did not discuss any details of the negotiations.
On April 9 of this year, Gazprom CEO Aleksey Miller said Romanian could not join South Stream as a transit country, but said Bucharest could receive gas from the South Stream pipeline by either sea or land.
