WASHINGTON, 12 May 2022, (TON): The Bulgarian government said “it had reached an agreement with the US authorities on the supply of liquefied natural gas to the country as early as next month.”

The communiqué said after the meeting “Bulgarian Prime Minister Kiril Petkov met with US Vice President Kamala Harris in Washington . “An agreement was reached on deliveries of LNG to Bulgaria starting in June at prices below the current prices of Gazprom.”

On the same day, Petkov had a conversation with US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken.
