Prime Minister Kiril Petkov described the information that he had personally assumed commitments for the lifting of the veto on North Macedonia’s EU accession negotiations as fake news.

• Foreign Minister Genchovska: Bulgaria’s position on North Macedonia remains unchanged
  
• Premier Kiril Petkov expects Skopje to establish a government institution for Bulgarians in North Macedonia
  
• EU expects Sofia to lift its veto over membership talks with Skopje by June
  

He used the same words to describe the accusations by GERB party, that businesses are not receiving full compensation for the expensive electricity. The Bulgarian Prime Minister said further that payment for Russian natural gas will be in “normal currency”, assurances of which he has been given by the European Commission. 

• As of 1 July, Bulgaria is going to receive Azeri gas, though not via Greece, PM Kiril Petkov says
  
• Russia halts natural gas supplies to Bulgaria
  

Answering a question whether there is any danger of Bulgaria being left without gas if Greece refuses to pay in rubles, Kiril Petkov said: “I do not think that Russia can afford to lose the entire European Union”.
