A working group is to decide whether municipalities will receive compensations for the soaring electricity prices.

“Money can be allocated after the public procurement contracts are checked in each municipality that requests money of the state,” Prime Minister Kiril Petkov said. “There will be probes whether lack of money isn’t a function of bad practices.”
