We have spoken with the Finance Minister and the Governor of the Bulgarian National Bank (BNB) to monitor very carefully and be careful, because this is no joke. We may run out of fuel at any moment. What are the sanctions against banks that service transfers for the purchase of oil? This was announced to journalists on the sidelines of parliament by GERB leader Boyko Borisov regarding the information about the sanctions imposed by the US on the two largest Russian oil companies - "Rosneft" and "Lukoil". He also said that there were expectations that this would happen, BTA wrote.
You don't think that Delyan Dobrev and Stanislav (Anastasov, author's note) just thought of it that way in the evening, as they were sitting, and came up with it by chance. I believe that I am a fairly informed person, commented Borisov on the occasion of the legislative changes undertaken regarding the ownership of “Lukoil“ in Bulgaria. We have anticipated the events, we are ready with a second reading of the draft law, the GERB leader indicated. According to him, all options are provided for.
Borisov believes that after the imposition of the sanctions there is time for a reaction that would allow the sanctions to be lifted. “This is the game of the big guys at the moment“, he summed up the situation.
In response to a question that the State Agency “National Security“ (DANS) will check a possible sale of “Lukoil“ in Bulgaria, Borisov said that in addition to our agency, a similar process will be monitored by other services. “From at least four headquarters“, he explained. It is no coincidence that SANS is the most respected service in the US among our partners, added the GERB leader.
Borisov does not accept comments that Denyo Denev is close to Delyan Peevski. I have appointed him, he said in response to a question about the possibility of Denyo Denev heading SANS and the agency checking a possible sale of “Lukoil“.
