“As for the injection of gas into UGSFs, according to the current requirements of the European Commission, by November 1, the reserves should be 80%, so Poland is already close to this level, but Bulgaria will have to try to achieve this indicator,” RIA Novosti quotes Belova.

According to her, reserves of their own storage facilities can become a reserve source of gas for Bulgaria and Poland.

She added that Bulgaria may try to increase supplies from Azerbaijan.

Earlier, the head of the Energy Development Fund, Sergei Pikin, in an interview with Nation News, spoke about the prospects for cooperation between Russia and the EU.
