According to reports, the special exception for Russian fuel has been introduced due to the need to ensure the normal operation of Bulgarian institutions and other factories requiring motor fuel and to protect the life, health and national security of Bulgarian citizens. Therefore, this ban has been postponed till December 31, 2024, which is likely to be enforced again after the completion of this period.
It should be noted that after Russia’s military operation in Ukraine, Europe and Western countries imposed sanctions on Russia, including restrictions on Russia’s financial intentions, Russian products, and Russian energy, including the ban on entry of Russian citizens into the country. Now, looking at the energy crisis in Europe, the European countries have been forced to end the sanctions imposed on Russia’s energy.
