There were reports about Alexander Nikolov in the ministry.

Already in the second or third week I made a change in management and he was released.

Then a lot of media and politicians came out in his defense, but apparently my decision was right.

This was stated by Energy Minister Rosen Hristov in an interview for Lice v Lice

Rosen Hristov has a master's degree in international economic relations from the University of California.

Rosen Hristov, a master's in international economic relations from the University of California, summarized that the accusations coincide with those made in "Magnitsky".

"I was reacting to data that existed. These reports were sent to many offices. It's surprising that the previous administration did not act on the case. It is about questionable related party contracts. Contracts with companies that represent related parties protect certain interests. For any work related to the operation and maintenance of the Kozloduy NPP. The materials have already been sent to the services. Apparently they have observations across the ocean. The information matches. It is a pity that we do not initiate more active actions ourselves, but we welcome any help he added.
