Sofia is ready to support the 21st package of EU sanctions against Russia

Bulgarian reservations were taken into account and Russian Patriarch Kirill and Vagit Alekperov are no longer in the proposed sanctions package. We are ready to support the 21st package of sanctions against Russia, Foreign Minister Velislava Petrova said in Brussels, where a meeting of the EU Foreign Affairs Council began on July 13.

Petrova pointed out that Greece still had reservations about the sanctions in the energy sector, while the case with Austria was in the financial sector, BTA reports. On Wednesday, July 15, Velislava Petrova will visit Kyiv. Bulgaria is looking for options that will be of the greatest help to Ukraine and at the same time have a positive effect for our country in the energy sector for additional gas transmission next winter, the minister specified.
