“The country is ready to apply adequate measures in the event of a breach or disruption of gas deliveries because of the war between Russia and Ukraine,” said Bulgaria’s Energy Minister Alexander Nikolov.

During the extraordinary meeting of the EU’s Transport, Telecommunications and Energy Council, Minister Nikolov laid emphasis on the need to take immediate and coordinated measures within the European Union that will guarantee the sustainability of the energy system and the affordability of energy by the public and by businesses, including by providing a financial resource at a European level in support of national budgets. 

The meeting highlighted the cooperation with Greece for speeding up energy connectivity in the region, as well as the reverse flow interconnection with Serbia. Bulgaria’s Energy Minister stated his support for the accelerated integration of Ukraine's power grid to the European electric energy grid.
