The ceremony of the commercial operation of the Greece-Bulgaria gas interconnector (IGB) held on Saturday in Sofia, which will be attended by Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, marks Greece’s role, as an energy bridge between the South and the North, the Balkans and Europe, as well as Greece’s upgrading role on the energy and geopolitical map and its contribution to the energy security and supply of the wider region, at a critical juncture.
The presidents of Bulgaria, Serbia, North Macedonia, Azerbaijan, the prime minister of Romania, as well as the president of the European Commission will attend the ceremony.
The IGB pipeline, together with the rest of the energy infrastructure that is being launched and the connecting axes with North Macedonia and Italy, make Greece a critical link and energy entry hub in Europe, contributing decisively to energy security and the diversification of energy sources, as the Greek government has been pointed out.
