In front of the Saudi guest, Boyko Borissov said that Bulgaria was becoming a regional gas distribution center and that the pipeline guaranteed diversification of gas supplies.

Aabed Abdulla Al-Saadoun said his government would continue to give full support to the Arkad consortium, which is the main contractor for Balkan Stream, and that King Salman was monitoring the project and "putting a lot of pressure". According to the Prime Minister, there are no Russian companies behind the company.
