Earlier, GERB called on President Rumen Radev to urgently convene a meeting of the Consultative Council on National Security over the committments in the National Recovery and Resilience Plan. “Bulgaria will lose billions of Euros, because it will have to stop exporting electricity as of 2026”, GERB MP Delyan Dobrev contends.
