Although Prime Minister Borissov boasted that the Balkan Stream gas pipeline (ie the second Turkish Stream pipeline), which went into operation in the last days of 2020, passing through our country, is "100% Bulgarian" and is state-owned, for understandable reasons, he didn't want to officially open the pipeline, which has been actively under construction since December 2019, nor did he want to explain why the entire volume of natural gas transiting through that pipeline will go to Serbia and not be used here in this country and its users.

By the way, in January 2021 he boasted again, this time in relation to the gas supplies that started on December 31, 2020 from Azerbaijan, which are supposed to cover up to 30% of our country's needs, although he didn't mention anything about the price of that gas, nor whether it's really going to be cheaper than the Russian one. For some context, according to the contract signed by our local gas provider Bulgargaz with the Azerbaijani oil company SOCAR, 1 billion cubic meters of natural gas will be delivered to our country annually from the Shah Deniz 2 field for a period of 25 years.
