Next week, GERB will submit to parliament a bill on revoking the derogation for the Lukoil refinery in Burgas for using Russian oil, said Desislava Atanasova, chair of GERB’s parliamentary group at an election campaign meeting in Ruse.

“We believe we must introduce the most liberal regime for storing fuel and the state will appoint its own “guardian” at the refinery,” Desislava Atanasova said further.

GERB leader Boyko Borissov must explain to his friends – Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban and Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic why he signed the transit fee on Russian gas, raising the price when winter is on the doorstep, writes Bulgarian Socialist Party (BSP) leader Korneliya Niniova on Facebook.

Korneliya Ninova writes further that this decision eradicates our hopes of Bulgaria joining Schengen.
