Bulgaria's
prime minister has confirmed his support for the construction of the county's
second nuclear power station at Belene, Sofia News Agency reports on its website
Friday.
"Belene nuclear power plant project is not frozen," Boyko Borisov is
quoted as saying as he reaffirmed his stance after contradictory statements
made this month.
Borisov also said the national state security agency and the prosecutor's office
are investigating the Belene project, saying "parasites...have been
sucking money from it," the agency reports.
Russia has said it is
willing to help finance the construction of the Belene plant, after Germany's
RWE AG (RWE.XE) withdrew last year.
