Prime Minister Kiril Petkov: As of September, Azeri gas will be able to reach Bulgaria through the interconnector with Greece

The end of June, the Greece-Bulgaria gas connection will be a fact. Azeri gas has been flowing through it since September. The forecast is by Prime Minister Kiril Petkov and was made after his visit to the area of ​​the Greek town of Komotini, the government's information service said. For our country, this will mean lower prices and greater energy independence. "This winter, the price of gas was so high because this project was not completed and someone had voluntarily given up cheaper quantities," Petkov said.

During the visit, the Prime Minister commented on other topics. Among them is the case of former Prime Minister Boyko Borissov. "If a person wants not to do something, he will get water out of 100 wells," the Bulgarian prime minister was adamant. According to him, in this case it is a matter of damaging the budget by BGN 550 million. "This means that the Bulgarian taxpayer has paid over half a billion to the prosecutor's office for this silence. And if we are talking about an occupied institution that is not doing its job, this case made it obvious, "said Kiril Petkov.

The Prime Minister also announced that there is a new report from the Ministry of Finance, which analyzes how EU funds have been audited. It is clear from him that there were abuses. They took place at a time when Vladislav Goranov was the principal of the Ministry of Finance. Then, in several regions, in over 90% of the cases in the competitions for EU funding, only one participant was admitted.
