Once a thriving center of commerce, the Danube river town of Svishtov has been experiencing economic difficulties for the last couple of decades.
The Chair of the Bulgarian Parliament Tsetska Tsacheva expressed support Sunday for building Belene NPP, saying she is “an optimist” about the project.
Tsacheva said that being elected from the Pleven district in northern Bulgaria, she is especially sensitive about issues of under-development of the northern and north-western parts of the country, implying that building a new NPP might improve that situation.
The town of Belene is in Bulgaria's Pleven region. The chairwoman of the National Assembly was speaking in northern Bulgarian town of Svishtov on occasion of the 133th anniversary of its liberation from Ottoman rule.
Tsetska Tsacheva's statement comes after weeks of controversy and unclarity about Bulgaria's commitment for the Belene NPP project, after negative comments on the part of Bulgarian PM Boyko Borisov. Tsacheva belongs to the center-right ruling GERB party, chaired by Borisov.
