Mnogi Bugari smatraju zajednički naftovodni projekat s Rusijom i Grčkom jako spornim, a na referendumima održanim prošle godine odbacili su ga stanovnici tri crnomorske općine, uključujući i Burgas.
The joint oil pipeline project with Russia and Greece is viewed as highly controversial by many Bulgarians and has been rejected by residents of three Black Sea municipalities, including Burgas, in referendums held last year.
