66 km of the South Stream pipeline will pass through Veliko Tarnovo. The pipes will go through the municipalities of Pavlikeni, Polish Trambesh, Gorna Oryahovitsa. Pipeline data were presented during a public discussion of the presentation of the environmental impact assessment report, which was held in the municipality of Gorna Oryahovitsa.

In the municipality of Gorna Oryahovitsa, the pipeline is planned to be between 3 and 5 kilometres and will pass through the villages of Strelets and Paisiy.
Throughout the municipality Gorna Oryahovitsa the pipeline route will consist of two tubes. In Strazhitsa, the length of the pipeline will be 13 km and will pass through the villages of Varbovka, Lozen and Vinograd.
The project “South Stream” on the territory of Bulgaria is the ground part of the whole pipeline system. Its length on Bulgarian land is expected to be 540.8 km. The Bulgarian section of the pipeline is the transition part going to the countries of Central and Southern Europe.
The economic impact of the construction of the pipeline in Bulgaria will strengthen the stability and energy sector and improve energy infrastructure. In terms of social impact, it will create new jobs during construction and during the continued operation of the pipeline. The positive environmental impacts will be expressed in the reduction of pollutant carbon emissions and greenhouse gases.
