"Do not look for alternatives": Hungary and Serbia fund Putin's military car - Bulgaria Prime Minister

He made it clear that the government of the country did not intend to give up tax on Russian gas, which goes transit through the territory of Bulgaria, because it will deprive the "Gazprom" of the part of the profit from which the war in Ukraine is financed. In October, Hungary representatives called such actions hostile, and Serbia stated that a vital supply of fuel to the region could stop vital.

"There was enough time to find alternatives and to understand that these incomes are feeding Putin's military car. We can no longer wait, in fact, it had to happen before," 61-year-old Denkov said. This position serves as another confirmation that the Russian invasion led by Russian President Vladimir Putin has influenced the supply of energy resources, and the cost of living has become one of the highest in decades.

The Turkstream gas pipeline laid through the Black Sea, Gazprom pumps fuel to Turkey and then into Bulgaria. It is also a key gas supply route for small Balkan countries. The Bulgarian Prime Minister believes that the established regulation does not contradict the European legislation, and speaks of its openness to negotiations with Budapest and Belgrade. The government of Victor Orban and Alexander Vuchich he accuses the rumors of rising prices and unwillingness to negotiate.

Nicholas Denkov headed the Bulgaria government in June, when a coalition of rifle parties was formed. This put an end to the long -standing political deaf angle in which Sofia was located. Now a country with a population of 6. 5 million adheres to the pro -European course. Despite historical ties with the Russian Federation, the Bulgaria authorities have decided to reduce its dependence on Moscow after many years of almost complete dependence on Russian gas, oil and nuclear fuel.

In addition, Denkov promised to develop a military partnership with Ukraine after some fluctuations in the government of the country. Bulgaria is considered to be the largest manufacturer of ammunition of the Soviet model and is looking for opportunities to expand production. Among other things, it is part of a group of countries, along with Romania and Turkey, which organized a mission to clean the coast of mines. The Prime Minister hopes that the mission will be launched very soon.
