The Nabucco pipeline project to bring Caspian region gas to Europe was named an “object of national importance” by the government of transit country Bulgaria on Wednesday. The announcement is “favourable for procedures required to obtain construction permits”, Nabucco said, hailing the decision as “momentous”. Earlier this week, Bulgaria also said it would help accelerate the development of the Gazprom-led South Stream pipeline.
