Every day we pay 1,050,000 million leva per day. The contract for "Botas" has been in effect since 2023 - we pay for a service that we do not use. Then the caretaker minister Rosen Hristov signed this contract. This was stated by the Minister of Energy Zhecho Stankov to BTV.
According to the minister, Bulgaria will give a total of 6 billion leva under the agreement.
"Just for comparison with "Botas" - under "Balkan Stream", in which we invested 2.6 billion leva, Bulgaria will receive a total of 20 billion leva. This money goes to the budget - for energy, infrastructure, sanitation."
"Bulgargaz" must be preserved. The contract with "Botas" brought the company to its knees. The colleagues from the service cabinet then took actions that intentionally or unintentionally harmed the state. We will not allow the price of heating to increase, Stankov was categorical.
