In a few days, the Ministry of Energy will publish for public discussion amendments to the Renewable Energy Sources Act, after which they will be submitted for voting in parliament. The goal is to avoid gasoline shortages and price increases from March 1. This was what the Minister of Energy Vladimir Malinov has told media.
