Bulgaria PM Boyko Borisov has revealed that prosecutors are already studying the project of the hydroelectric power plant – ‘Tsankov Kamak’.

Borisov did not say what the fate of the project will be; “It is like Belene NPP, if we stop - we lose the same amount again and if we go on we create an even greater deficit. It is here that the money for for mothers with children, the military and police has been spent.”
The initial price of the ‘Tsankov Kamak’ project is reported to have risen by EUR 250 M. Borisov continued that only this year the inflationary index of the contract was EUR 90 M, with EUR 59 M already paid by the National Electricity Company (NEC).

The Executive Director of NEC, Krasimir Parvanov, said that his company can not spend money on the project in these times of financial crisis and said one of the options is to seek a loan.
