None of the countries participating in the Nabucco gas pipeline project had even hinted at doubts over its successful implementation, Bulgaria's representative in Nabucco Gas Pipeline International GmbH Dimitar Abadzhiev said, Trend reported.
"We still consider this as the most viable project aimed at connecting the Turkish gas market to Europe," Abadzhiev told Bulgarian National Radio on Sunday.
"Nabucco meets all the conditions for a secure pipeline in both versions, the full-scale version and the shorter version, Nabucco West," Abadzhiev added.
The Bulgarian representative in the Nabucco Consortium said that the media were spreading mere comments, while the actual decision on the matter was to be taken by the BP-led consortium developing Azerbaijan's Shah Deniz field in June.
BP representative Iain Conn said on Thursday that the company was no longer considering Nabucco as an option for shipping gas from the Shah Deniz Stage 2 Gas field in Azerbaijan, media reported.
The BP official made clear that BP and the State Oil Company of Azerbaijan Republic (SOCAR) were discussing only two options for their gas -Nabucco West and the South East Europe Pipeline (SEEP).
