Russian gas started running through Bulgaria's gas transit system, Economy and Energy Ministry announced. Bulgaria has demanded at least 8.6 mln cubic meters of gas per day. Currently, much larger quantities are being delivered.
The received gas from Ukraine is only for Bulgaria's needs. Gas transit to other countries will be resumed only when Ukrainian gas pipelines start working at full capacity. If demanded gas quantities are duly delivered, gas supplying in Bulgaria will be resumed within 24 hours. Since Bulgaria started receiving gas from Greece on Monday, consumers' demands for increase of imposed limits were met.
