The Bulgarian government has decided to provide support for the Natsionalna Elektricheska Kompania EAD (NEK) to cover obligations to Russian "Atomstroyexport" for produced equipment for the terminated Belene NPP Project. The International Court of Arbitration has ruled that the company should pay a total of 629 million euros. According to Prime Minister Borissov, Bulgaria must first pay part of the costs of ordered nuclear reactors, totaling some 400 million euros and then to call on the Russian side to stop interest charges and look for joint solution to the issue.
