US Energy Secretary Rick Perry warned against Europe's growing dependence on Russian gas supplies as he spokes at the Three Seas Initiative Business Forum in Bucharest on Tuesday.
"Europe's dependence on Russian gas has only been increasing, rising from 30 percent share to more than 40," he said. "This is cause for concern."
"Energy should never be used as a means of political coercion or as a threat to national security," Perry said. "This is particularly true for this region where Central and Eastern European nations continue to face challenges of energy security due to the single supplier dependence and Russia's aggressive posture."
Perry was invited to speak at the business forum which is aimed at bringing eastern and western EU member states closer together.
The 'Three Seas' refers to the Adriatic, Baltic and Black seas and is made up of former Communist states, bar Austria.
