Sofia is expected to sign a definitive agreement with Russia's Gazprom on 9 November for building the South Stream pipeline across Bulgarian territory, according to local media.
As reported earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin was expected to attend the ceremony that will see the deal formally signed by Alexei Miller, Gazprom CEO, and Mihail Andonov, head of the Bulgaria Energy Holding (BEH). But Sofia now indicates that the Russian President will instead visit the country in December.
