He also criticized the Nabucco project but gives it a chance as compared to South Stream. In his opinion, the Nabucco pipeline depends mostly on Iran and on the country's readiness to provide natural gas to Europe.
"Nabucco is not real as long as an understanding with Iran is not reached as it does not have a natural gas resource. The Azerbaijan or Turkmenistan resource is not plausible", he said.
Ion Sturza attended the Black Sea Economy and Energy Forum in Bucharest this week.
