If Act 16 is not issued next month, that would mean that “we have again gone back to the years when the national interest did not prevail,” PM Petkov said, and went on to lay emphasis on the fact that GERB party had delayed the project for 12 years to the advantage of Russia’s Gazprom.
At an official ceremony on 8 July, PM Petkov and his Greek counterpart Kyriakos Mitsotakis declared the end of construction work, with the interconnector still in testing mode.
