Bulgaria cannot resell Russian oil to other countries, European Commission Spokesperson, Daniel Ferrie, has told journalists. The country is exempted from the sanctions on Russian oil imports by sea.

Ferrie recalled that the exception from the embargo was made due to Bulgaria's specific geographical location and that it continues for a limited period - until the end of 2024.

"The purpose of this derogation is for Bulgaria to be supplied with oil, not to resell it to other member states or to third countries," Ferrie pointed out.

In response, the Ministry of Finance хас indicated that Bulgaria has no intention of re-exporting crude oil and violating the restrictive measure.
