We have submitted a proposal in order to try to sell the Russian nuclear equipment from the site at the Belene NPP to Ukraine, Democratic Bulgaria MP Ivaylo Mirchev wrote on Facebook. An explicit requirement is that the price should not be lower than the purchase price of EUR 600 million, Mirchev adds.
Radoslav Ribarski, a member of the Energy Committee and MP of "We Continue the Change", confirmed the news to the BNR . "A decision will make it possible for Bulgaria to stop accumulating losses on the protection and preservation of the equipment and to recover the costs of the arbitration case with Rosatom,” Ribarski said.
GERB MP Delyan Dobrev announced on Facebook that the parliament has tasked Minister of Energy Rumen Radev to negotiate with Kyiv. Minister Radev has already inspected the stored nuclear unit and found that it is in perfect condition. "Vazrazhdane" and the Bulgarian Socialist Party opposed the possible deal.
Later today the Parliament's Energy Committee instructed the Energy Minister to hold talks with Ukraine on the sale of the Belene NPP facilities.
