Overview:
Following the decision in June 2013 in favour of the Trans Adriatic Pipeline (TAP) over the Nabucco West project, thinking on energy security issues is taking a new course in Central and South-East Europe. Countries of the region and the European Commission need to come out with a solution to the question of natural gas supply security for Central and South-East Europe. The Shah Deniz decision has provoked serious debates both in the region and in Brussels. The Hungarian Presidency of the Visegrad Group aims at generating in depth discussion about these issues.

The objective of the seminar is to align thinking on infrastructure development projects of Central and South-East European countries after the Shah Deniz decision and to encourage more cooperation in the region in terms of energy supply security and market integration. Rethinking the options of Central and South-Eastern Europe and formulating a common regional approach would be the desired outcome of the event.
