We hope that today Bulgaria will receive a derogation from the US sanctions against Russian company Lukoil, such as the one in Germany - for 6 months.

In Bulgaria, as far as it depends on the Bulgarian government, there will be no fuel crisis. This was stated during parliamentary control by Deputy Prime Minister Tomislav Donchev in response to a question from the opposition.
There is no way for an asset that is not owned by the state to be leased out. This is how Donchev answered a question whether the government should lease out the Lukoil refinery in Burgas to the state-owned Bulgarian Energy Holding, BTA reports.
