BRUSSELS, Belgium (AP) - The European Union says most member countries hit by the gas dispute between Ukraine and Russia have tapped into alternative supplies.

Gas experts say Bulgaria remains the worst affected country and still needs to find other supplies. It wants deliveries from Greece.

Norway, Libya and Algeria and other suppliers helped remedy problems in Poland, Slovakia, and Hungary.

Russia cut off many EU member states nearly two weeks ago and left them with acute heating fuel shortages amid a cold snap. Experts from the 27 nations concluded at a meeting that stable supplies could be maintained until mid-March if temperatures did not drop again and extra deliveries from other nations continued.
