A company in close relation with Hristo Kovachki, a controversial Bulgarian businessman, has sought a license to operate railway freight transportation.
Bulgaria's Transport Ministry is to dedice in a few months whether to grant a permit to the entity, according to officials who confirmed for the daily Trud that such request had been received at the Ministry.
TBD - Freight Transport, the company which has shown interest in railway freight services, is confirmed by experts to have locomotives and goods wagons in stock.
It is owned by Bobov Dol Thermal Power Station (TPS), which Kovachki, described by some as a "tycoon", allegedly owns. Dimitar Petkov, who is registered as the owner to TBD - Freight Transport is, on the other hand, also known as a close partner to Kovachki.
If the new firm is allowed to operate on Bulgarian railroads, it could carry coal from Kovachki's mines to Bobov Dol TPS and other stations where he is involved, according to Expert.bg.

On February 21, BDZ decided to suspend freight transport for Kovachki's coal over prolonged debts.
By 14 June, a commission with the Transport Ministry has to consider the candidate's application.
Minister Danail Papazov will then have a three-month deadline to take a final decision. StandartNews quotes finance ministers as saying that BDZ Freight Transport might suffer huge losses if a license is granted to TBD.
