The union presidents raised the question of preserving the capacity of the Maritsa East energy complex and explained the reasons for their protest actions. Minister Petkova briefed the meeting on the steps taken by the government in this regard. She stressed that the mines and thermal power plants in the Maritsa Basin were of strategic importance for the functioning of the energy system of Bulgaria and the region. We also discussed our country's position for the next climate change conference in Katowice, Poland.

According to the representatives of employers' organizations, measures should be taken to complete the process of liberalization of the Bulgarian energy sector. The meeting participants came together to sell electricity at market prices to ensure the long-term stability of the sector.

An upcoming meeting on the energy sector is to take place.
