KIEV, July 7 ??“ The construction of the Burgas-Alexandropolis oil pipeline through Bulgaria and Greece poses no threat to the operation of the Odessa-Brody pipeline and its extension to Plock, Oleksandr Todyichuk, the CEO UkrTransNafta, said.

The comment seeks to allay fears that the pipelines may end up competing while moving Caspian Sea crude oil to markets in Europe seeking to alleviate pressure on Turkey??™s busy Bosporus Strait.
