“No gas? No problem!” – Under this title, the authoritative German economic daily “Handelsblatt” published an article by Gerd Höller about Bulgaria and Russian energy supplies. At the beginning of his analysis, the author paraphrases a well-known German political slogan, which in the case of Bulgaria sounds something like this: “Unbelievable: Russia turned off the gas tap, but no one even noticed.” Hoeler reminds that Gazprom has stopped deliveries to Bulgaria because Bulgargaz refused to pay in rubles, Deutsche Welle writes.
“Bulgaria’s supply is secured”
“But although Bulgaria got 90% of its gas from Russia, the suspension of supplies went unnoticed by both households and industrial consumers. There is no deficit, no regime. Moreover, Bulgargaz’s customers can even hope, that their gas bills will decrease in the future “, the author summarizes and informs his readers about the visit of the Bulgarian Prime Minister Kiril Petkov to the USA, as a result of which Bulgaria starts importing liquefied gas from the United States. In this regard, the publication quotes Petkov as saying that in the future the price will be lower than that of the first deliveries.
