We will have concrete parameters of Ukraine's interest in the reactors from the unfinished Belene nuclear power plant within 60 days, Bulgaria’s Deputy Minister of Energy Iva Petrova said for “Bulgaria on air” TV. “The National Assembly, which authorized the talks, will have to approve the final decision, because the topic is of high public interest", Deputy Minister Petrova added. Iva Petrova clarified that the timing of the talks was right and they were not related to the visit of Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskiy in Sofia.
As regards the proposal which envisages that the state becomes a co-shareholder in the consortium which is drilling for gas off Bulgaria’s Black Sea coast, Deputy Minister Petrova said that the mentioned quantities look like an exceptional opportunity. "If these quantities are confirmed, this will fundamentally change Bulgaria's position and the situation on our market", Iva Petrova added.
