The state retains operational control over Lukoil Bulgaria
The Bulgarian state has announced that it will continue to exercise operational control over the activities of Lukoil Bulgaria. This decision is part of the government's efforts to ensure strict compliance with international sanctions imposed in the energy sector.
Control is exercised through a special commercial representative appointed by the state. Their primary task is to monitor processes within the company and ensure that all refinery operations are in accordance with Bulgarian legislation and European regulations.
This measure is important for the country's energy security. Through enhanced oversight, the authorities aim to prevent the circumvention of sanctions and ensure transparency in the supply and processing of crude oil.
Although the company continues its work, the state remains committed to monitoring all key operations. This control mechanism is expected to remain in force as long as the international situation and European Union requirements necessitate it.
