Top Story 'Political' Appointment Said to Stall Further Burgas-Alexandroupolis PipelineThe acting Director of the Bulgarian branch of the Trans-Balkan Pipeline company Plamen Rusev has told Novinite.com (Sofia News Agency) his expected replacement will stall and possibly alter substantially the Burgas-Alexandroupolis oil pipeline project. Novinite.com asked Rusev to comment on the news broken Thursday night by Vladislav Emelyanov, the CEO of the Trans-Balkan Pipeline company which is in charge of constructing and running the future Burgas-Alexandroupolis pipeline, that the Bulgarian government has nominated another person to replace him. The Bulgarian Finance Ministry has suggested that Denitsa Beyazova become the Director of the Burgas-Alexandroupolis Pipeline Project Company BG EAD, the Bulgarian partner in the Trans-Balkan Pipeline company, a joint venture with Russia and Greece. The position is currently occupied by Plamen Rusev. "I was aware of the preparations for my replacement. To be honest, this sounds a little flaky because to appoint a person as the head of such a project, they should have the respective engineering and economic knowledge and experience. I believe that Ms. Beyazova has a total working experience of 6-7 years after she received her law degree," Rusev said while pointing out that the decision to replace him with Beyazova will first have to be approved by the TBB shareholders. "The decision for my replacement is completely political. But the Bulgarian Finance Minister, who has become the person responsible for the Bulgarian participation in the Burgas-Alexandroupolis project, has the right to do this," he explained. According to the Director of the Bulgarian branch of TBB, the appointment of a new person in his place will lead to a new great delay of the progress of the pipeline, specifically of the submission of all necessary documentation by the project company for the carrying out an environmental assessment. "I will not do anything without an international environmental assessment of the Burgas-Alexandroupolis project. I won't let them use monobuys in our rough Black Sea so that when these get torn, Bulgaria will suffer. Neither Russia, nor Greece - only Bulgaria will suffer. And there won't be anybody who would sign a positive environmental assessment. But we need to have it because if we say now, "We won't do it!", we are going to pay huge penalties," explained Bulgarian Prime Minister Boyko Borisov on the national TV Friday night. The internationally sanctioned environmental assessment is the key condition of the Bulgarian government before it decides on whether it wants to kill the project or to go ahead with it. The relevant environmental documentation was supposed to be submitted by September - a hope expressed by the TBB CEO Emelyanov on Thursday - so that the assessment could be ready in February 2011. However, Plamen Rusev is positive that, while the relevant documents are almost ready, the taking over of the Bulgarian branch of the TBB by the new nominee will delay their submission beyond September. "What is more, I have concerns of my own that the appointment of the new director is an indication that the nature of the Burgas-Alexandroupolis oil pipeline in Bulgaria will be changed - from the monobuoy oil unloading technology that we have put forth as more environment-friendly - to the unloading of the tankers straight in the Port of Burgas. The reason to appoint a new person is to change the existing plans. It is only natural that I have been committed to this project, and that I am concerned that after the new nominee takes over the project won't go the right way," Rusev declared. He further expressed his regret that the preparation of the Burgas-Alexandroupolis project in Bulgaria had been delayed for more than a year - first, because the project company stopped promoting it publicly because of the political tensions before the 2009 elections, and focused on carrying out all necessary technical surveys; second, because from August 2009 till February 2010, the Regional Development Minister Rosen Plevneliev, who was in charge of the project, disregarded it in anticipation of transferring it to the Finance Ministry; and finally, because the transfer to the Finance Ministry announced in the spring of 2010 took a long time. "The potential switching of the technology for the realization of the Burgas-Alexandroupolis oil pipeline - from monobuoy unloading to unloading inside the Port of Burgas - will lead to the total collapse of the schedule. What is worse, it is going to be catastrophic about the local people, the local environment and tourism," Rusev forecast.

Bulgarian Foreign Ministry Urges Serbia to Get Over Kosovo More than 24 hours later Bulgaria's government has not reacted to the ruling of the International Court of Justice that Kosovo's independence was not illegal. The only document posted by the Bulgarian Foreign Ministry after the ICJ opinion on the independence of the newest Balkan nation became clear is a brief summary of the statement of the UN High Representative for Foreign and Security Policy Catherine Ashton. The relevant recent statement of the Bulgarian Cabinet was made public Thursday morning, i.e. before the ICJ ruling was clear, and it practically boils down to urging Serbia to get over the loss of Kosovo. "With respect to the upcoming consultative opinion of the International Court about the legality of Kosovo's declaration of independence from Serbia, we remark that the recognition of Kosovo by the the majority of the EU member states including Bulgaria is an irreversible fact, which not only does not reduce but actually intensifies the level of our efforts for accelerating Serbia's EU accession. We are convinced that both countries must stop looking at their past, and must direct their efforts towards their European future, which has to do first and foremost with the success of their reforms," states the Bulgarian Foreign Ministry. The statement goes on to emphasize that all Western Balkan nations have a clear EU perspective but that it could be realized depending on the actions of the countries in the region. "We expect to see Belgrade and Prishtina settle their relations through dialogue in the interest of peace, stability, and cooperation, and in the spirit of the founding values and principles of the EU," it says. Bulgaria recognized Kosovo several weeks after it declared indepedence in February 2008 together with Hungary and Croatia.
