Caretaker Minister of Environment and Water Petar Dimitrov held a video conference with Romania's Minister of Environment, Water and Forests Mircea Fechet and Ukraine's Minister of Environmental Protection and Natural Resources Svitlana Grynchuk. The three ministers discussed the situation after an oil spill from Russian tankers near the Kerch Strait. Ministers Dimitrov, Fechet and Grynchuk agreed to exchange information from scientific organizations and institutions in each country on the case. In coordination, the three countries will monitor for potential dangers to the Black Sea environment and coastline.

"Parts of the oil pollution that get into the interior of the Black Sea are likely to remain in circulation eddies. There is no risk of significant oil pollution reaching the western part of the Black Sea and endangering the Bulgarian territorial waters and the Bulgarian coast", said the Bulgarian Ministry of Environment and Water.
