The move was part of a deal the centre-right government of the Citizens for the European Development of Bulgaria (GERB) struck with Lukoil Bulgaria, which runs the country's sole oil refinery, in co-ordination with fuel traders and haulage companies.
Takva odluka bila je dio dogovora koji je vlada stranke desnog centra, Građani za europski razvitak Bugarske (GERB), postigla s tvrtkom Lukoil Bulgaria, koja upravlja jedinom rafinerijom nafte u zemlji, u koordinaciji s trgovcima gorivom i tvrtkama za prijevoz goriva.
