The energy ministers of Bulgaria, Greece, Moldova, Romania, Ukraine and the United States met Friday, November 7, on the margins of the 6th Partnership for Transatlantic Energy Cooperation (P-TEC) Ministerial in Athens, Greece. The ministers agreed on the importance of unlocking the enormous potential of the Vertical Corridor to supply to supply Central, Eastern, and Southeastern Europe with abundant natural gas from sources diversified from Russia. Bulgaria, Greece, Moldova, Romania, and Ukraine are cooperating to continue to increase the use of pipeline routes through their countries to bring natural gas from Greece to meet the needs of Ukraine. The United States stands ready to pave the way for its suppliers to provide LNG to import terminals in Greece for this purpose.
