Bulgarian Deputy Prime Minister in charge of EU Funds Absorption Tomislav Donchev and Energy Minister Temenuzhka Petkova presented “opportunities for future cooperation in the field of nuclear energy and the construction of a new unit, in particular” to the delegation.
In Kozloduy, the Bulgarian hosts cited the availability of energy and transport infrastructure, experienced staff and the power plant's links with the energy systems of Bulgaria and neighbouring countries as favourable conditions for the construction of a new unit.
