On Friday Energy Minister Andrey Zhivkov dismissed the holding’s board of directors and the board is appealing the decision. The Ministry of Energy gives as the reason for the dismissal: lack of results following the minister’s demand that the management of Bulgartransgaz be dismissed due to breaches connected with the Balkan Stream project and unsatisfactory financial performance.
