Bulgaria extinde controlul statului asupra activităților Lukoil

The Bulgarian Parliament has urgently adopted legislative changes to increase state control over Lukoil's operations, including aviation fuel supply and maritime transport. This move follows sanctions against Lukoil International due to the Ukraine war, leading to special administration of strategic assets. The new laws aim to prevent disruptions in fuel supply to airports and ports, despite opposition criticism regarding excessive state control and the rapid legislative process. The government plans to request extensions for exemptions from U.S. and U.K. sanctions to maintain essential operations.
