Speaking at the 12th Summer University of the GERB youth organization, Borisov added that he is currently working on this very important energy project that will ensure diversification of supplies.

The PM also commented on the countryʼs Belene Nuclear Power Plant project, saying that many countries are interested, and there are many proposals.

Sofia revived the Belene project last year after Bulgariaʼs Parliament said investors should be sought to help the state make use of the two reactors, for which it paid more than EUR 620 million in compensation to Russia’s Rosatom after scrapping the original project in 2012.

Thirteen applications have been submitted for participation in the Belene project, Energy Minister Temenuzhka Petkova said on August 20.
