“We are a government of technocrats, we are considering all options, including the resumption of supplies from Gazprom.

As a priority, we consider alternative suppliers, but if it turns out that there are not enough of them, I will not become the minister who will leave people to freeze in the winter, ”RIA Novosti quotes him.

Earlier, the Russian ambassador to Sofia, Eleonora Mitrofanova, said that Russia was ready to restore gas supplies to Bulgaria, subject to the requirements of Gazprom.

The contract is valid until the end of this year.

Alexander Danilov, Ph.D. in Economics, spoke in an interview with the FBA "Economy Today" about the difficulties the Bulgarian economy will face if it refuses Russian gas and switches to LNG from the United States.

According to him, liquefied natural gas is not a salvation for countries that are used to getting fuel through pipelines.
