In his words, Bulgargaz has clear control of the origin of the natural gas via the certificates it receives directly from the gas trader, not from Botas, but the agreement is in effect until 2035, and the conditions for its termination are severe. There are quite a few binding commitments under the agreement between Bulgargaz and Botas, but there is also a certain amount of freedom which we are hoping will allow Bulgaria to negotiate better conditions during the current negotiations with the Turkish company, Minister Radev said.
