The state budget will be revised by the end of June, Prime Minister Kiril Petkov announced the decision taken at last night's Coalition Council.

Before the start of the cabinet meeting, he also commented on Bulgaria's exemption from the European Union's Russian oil embargo until the end of 2024. He said this would allow state-owned refinery Lukoil to replace some of its installations, and in the meantime the price of fuel would not rise.
