"In our opinion, there is a real possibility of running out of gas in the fourth quarter of this year, as the gas balance is not ensured.

Even if these deliveries announced by the prime minister - 7 tankers, and in fact the offer is for 3 by the end of the year - are realized, they will provide up to 60% of the deficit that is forming".

Dobrin Ivanov from the Association of Industrial Capital in Bulgaria said this on Nova TV.

In his words, in addition to the supplies themselves, the price should also be considered.

There is a better alternative and that is Russian gas, he specified.

According to Open Society economist Georgi Angelov, the way out of the gas crisis is 2/3 Azeri gas and 1/3 liquefied gas.

Svetoslav Benchev (Bulgarian Gas and Oil Association): Any ceiling on fuel prices is unfounded

"We have a long-term contract for Azeri gas, which is 1 billion cubic meters per year.

He is insured.

When Act 16 comes in, it will get cheaper.

With these tankers we have another 1/3 and there is another 1/3 to cover.

You know that the prime minister also goes to Azerbaijan.

There was a message there that we may receive additional quantities of Azeri gas.

I think we should take them.

The moment we build the pipe to Greece, which connects to the Azeri gas pipeline, we can get 1 billion of cheap Azeri gas.

And another 1 billion can be taken additionally + the tankers, the bill will be tied perfectly.

During this time, we must continue to fill "Chiren".  

According to him, Bulgaria should condemn "Gazprom" for leaving our country without gas for the winter.
