The checks were carried out by 150 customs officers under the Restrictive Measures in View of Russia’s Actions Destabilising the Situation in Ukraine Act. In December, the Bulgarian parliament decided to stop the export of oil products from Russian crude on January 1, 2024, as well as to fully stop the import of Russian oil on March 1.
