"Ukraine is still keen to buy the equipment for Bulgaria's second nuclear power plant - Belene - and is ready to pay the price we are asking," Energy Minister Rumen Radev said during an inspection of the construction of Bulgaria's gas link with Serbia.
In his words, the price will be higher than the 1.2 billion leva (about 600 million euro) set by the National Assembly.
