"The fees charged by Bulgaria for the transit of Russian gas to Serbia, Hungary and North Macedonia are a national measure, and therefore it is up to Bulgaria to decide where to allocate the revenues. This is what European Commission spokesman Tim McPhie said, reports BNR Brussels correspondent Angelina Piskova.
