Russia does not intend to pull-out of the Burgas-Alexandroupolis oil pipeline project, Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin spokesman Dmitri Peskov said here on Wednesday.
"The information that Russia has lost interest in the Burgas-Alexandroupolis oil pipeline or that it is preparing to pull-out of the project does not correspond to reality," Peskov told the Russian Interfax news agency.
"Moscow remains steadfast on all agreements regarding this project and continues to fulfill all obligations it has undertaken," the spokesman added.
Earlier in the day, a Transneft company spokesman, Igor Dyomin, denied a flurry of press speculation that Moscow was planning to abandon the Burgas-Alexandroupolis oil pipeline project and redirect financing to other pipeline projects.
