Bulgaria’s energy company Bulgargaz has received a notification that as of April 27, natural gas deliveries from Russia’s Gazprom Export will be suspended. Bulgargaz announced that Bulgaria had fully fulfilled its obligations and had made all payments under the existing agreement. According to Bulgaria’s state-owned energy company, the new two-stage payment procedure is not in line with the existing contract and poses risks to Bulgaria and that the country could make payments without receiving any gas supplies.

There are no grounds for concern, Lena Borislavova, Head of the Prime Minister’s Political Cabinet , said for the BNR. "Bulgaria’s government has been prepared for such a scenario for months and there is no need to introduce restrictions on gas consumption. We have secured alternative supply of natural gas and there is no reason for panic”, Lena Borislavova assured.
