The construction of units 7 and 8 of the Kozloduy NPP is a key step towards ensuring Bulgaria’s energy security. This position was expressed by Prime Minister Rosen Zhelyazkov at a meeting with a delegation from Hyundai Engineering and Construction, led by CEO Hanwoo Lee. According to him, the project is of strategic importance both for the country and for the region of Southeast Europe.
