Subscribe
The majority of people in the countries that were to host the South Stream gas pipeline believe that it should not have been up to the European Commission to decide whether to give the green light to the project that was to bring Russian natural gas to Europe, the poll showed.

According to a recent poll conducted by ICM Research exclusively for Sputnik News Agency, the majority of Serbs and Bulgarians say the decision to scrap the South Stream gas pipeline project will hurt their countries’ economies, with Austrians being more optimistic about the outlook for their gas supplies.

The survey revealed that 66 percent of respondents in Bulgaria and 52 percent in Serbia believe their countries should have had the final say on the matter. In Austria, 42 percent said the decision was theirs to make, while 46 percent said it was rightfully left to the European Commission, the European Union’s executive body.

The poll was conducted among 3000 residents in Austria, Serbia and Bulgaria between January 12 and 30, 2015.
