Bulgaria's prime minister has refused to put the closed nuke units issue on the table of the EU summit, which he is attending in Brussels.

"There is no point in raising the issue in a way, which will provoke negative reactions only," Sergey Stanishev said, as cited by the state radio.

He insisted that experts first gather sufficient evaluations about the safety of the closed nuclear units and the sentiments of the countries in the region and the other EU member states.

Bulgaria shut down reactors 3 and 4 at its sole Kozloduy nuclear power station to meet the safety requirements of the European Union.

Bulgaria joined the European Union on January 1, 2007.
