USA Puts Bulgaria in Turkey's Orbit - Standart

USA Puts Bulgaria in Turkey's Orbit

Boyan Chukpov, analysts

During the forthcoming visit of US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to Bulgaria will be broached the main issues of US foreign policy on the Balkans and Bulgaria in particular. I would like to note that in during all visits in the last few years - regardless of their level - energy has always been the main topic. In the beginning was Belene NPP project, followed by South Stream, Nabucco, Burgas-Alexandroupolis and now the probing of shale gas. I believe that one of the accents of the talks would be precisely the issue with the shale gas, because opinions are extremely polarized and not just in Bulgaria but in Europe as a whole.
