Borisov je porekao špekulacije kojima se smjena Traikova veže za njegovo protivljenje projektu Belene, te izjavio da je svrha prošlomjesečnog putovanja ministara energetike i finansija u Moskvu bio da Rusima kažu da Sofija neće graditi to postrojenje.
Borisov denied speculation linking Traikov's dismissal with his opposition to the Belene project, and said that the purpose of the energy and finance ministers' trip to Moscow last month was to tell the Russians that Sofia would not build the plant.
