Russian gas supplies for Bulgaria and transit for Turkey, Greece and Macedonia have been reinstated to normal volume, the Ministry of Economy and Energy reports Saturday.

Over the last 24 hours Russian gas supplies to Bulgaria, Greece, Turkey and Macedonia have been reduced by 1/3, prompting the Ministry to create emergency headquarters to monitor them.

According to the announcement, pressure at the entrance of the Bulgarian gas delivery network had been reinstated to levels agreed on with the supplier and the country is receiving all contracted and requested natural gas.

The headquarters will continue to monitor the situation to guarantee the security of both gas supply for Bulgaria and the transit flow for neighboring countries.

It was reported by Russian media earlier Saturday that Russia's Gazprom cannot divert additional gas to Western Europe, after several countries there reported decrease of the supply volume.
