"Lukoil Neftohim Burgas" will fulfill its commitment to switch to non-Russian oil processing, company representatives said at a meeting with Bulgarian Prime Minister Nikolai Denkov. They discussed the deadlines for this before the expiry of the EU derogation for Bulgaria for import of Russian oil in the end of 2024.

Denkov has requested that Lukoil must regularly pay the advance taxes to the state budget. In addition to the 10% corporate tax, by law the company must also pay a 33% temporary solidarity contribution. Lukoil representatives have confirmed their readiness to fulfill their obligations, the government reports.

Bulgaria expects reliable supplies and predictable fuel prices, President Rumen Radev also said in a conversation with the management of the company after the meeting of the Prime Minister.
