President Traian Basescu and his Azerbaijani counterpart, Ilham Aliyev, on Wednesday discussed the construction of new pipes for the transport of gas and petrol into the European market, according to a press release from the presidential administration.

Basescu said the Constanta-Pancevo-Trieste pipeline and the Nabucco one are of great interest both for Romania and the European Union, as alternatives for the supply of energy, oil, and gas into the EU member states.

Ilham Aliyev said his country is interested in the Nabucco project, as he finds it very attractive and interesting and underlined Azerbaijan's will to take part in the project. "The Nabucco project is based on supplies with gas from Azerbaijan, first of all, and from the Caspian Sea region. Consequently, if I can say so, we are the key element of this project because, without Azerbaijan, this project is useless," he said.
