Today, during a hearing in the National Assembly, PM Petkov outlined the steps the government has taken after Russia cut off gas supplies for this country. PM Petkov said Bulgaria wasnegotiating for additional quantities of gas from Azerbaijan to be received before the expected completion of the gas connection with Greece on June 30. The government is in advanced talks with the United States and Egypt and hopes the price  for gas will not be higher than Gazprom's.
