The Bulgarian Parliament has decided to look for an alternative to the Russian nuclear fuel for the Kozloduy NPP and have it delivered by April 2024. The GERB-SDS proposal was supported by We Continue the Change, Bulgarian Rise and Democratic Bulgaria. The party Vazrazhdane and the Bulgarian Socialist Party were against. The decision fulfills the EU's directive on energy diversification.

According to Borislav Gutsanov from the Bulgarian Socialist Party, this is a political decision and it is not correct. He asked for representatives of the Nuclear Regulatory Agency to come to Parliament. But the chairman of the energy committee, Delyan Dobrev, replied that the committee had already been given answers to most of the questions asked in the plenary hall.
