It is reported that Bulgaria’s refusal of Russian oil will take place in two stages: from January 1, 2024, export quotas will be suspended, and from March 1, the import and refining of oil from the Russian Federation will completely stop.
Earlier it was reported that Bulgaria introduced an additional tax on gas transit from the Russian Federation. The Russian energy monopolist Gazprom has not yet announced whether it intends to pay the tax, which casts doubt on the effectiveness of this proposal, but in Bulgaria they are counting on the payments.
It was previously reported that Bulgaria decided to expel the Russian archimandrite, and last year fired 70 employees of the Russian Embassy.
