Taj potez bio je u sklopu sporazuma vlade desnog centra Građana za evropski razvoj Bugarske (GERB) postignutog s firmom Lukoil Bugarska, koja vodi jedinu naftnu rafineriju u zemlji, u koordinaciji s trgovcima naftom i prijevozničkim kompanijama.
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.
