Bulgaria’s National Assembly approved at second reading amendments to the Investment Promotion Act. Under the changes, the assets of the Russian company Lukoil in Bulgaria can be sold only after a decision by the Council of Ministers and following a positive opinion from the State Agency for National Security (DANS). DANS will be required to conduct a preliminary investigation and issue a written opinion before any transaction involving shares or equity in Lukoil-Bulgaria, Lukoil Neftochim Burgas and Lukoil Aviation Bulgaria.
191 MPs participated in the vote. 119 MPs voted in favor, 70 voted against and two MPs abstained.
