Speaking at the national Energy Forum 2002 in the Black Sea port of Varna on 15 June, Energy Minister Milko Kovachev said Romania illegally transmitted electricity through Bulgaria to Greece, BTA reported. Under the Romanian-Greek agreement on electricity delivery, Romania must transfer the energy through Yugoslavia and Macedonia. Instead, however, the country used the Bulgarian transmission grid, |
Kovachev maintained. "We have intercepted this transmission and have presented a note to [Greece and Romania]. We expect a positive answer, namely, payment of the...transit fees," Kovachev said. He added that he expects a new law regulating the energy sector to be adopted in fall. The law was drafted with the assistance of USAID and will provide for more market-oriented development of the sector. |
