The government of the United Patriots (nationalist faction - ed.) and GERB (ruling pro-Western liberal party - ed.) is working well and provides an opportunity for complete diversification."
In turn, Bulgarian Energy Minister Temenuzhka Petkova clarified that until the beginning of October 2021, natural gas from Azerbaijan will be supplied through the temporary point “Kulata”.
