Bulgaria's PM Boyko Borisov commenting on the crisis at Overgas, Bulgaria's biggest private gas suppliers, which allegedly received a letter from Gazprom Export (also one of its shareholders) notifying of a halt in deliveries from January 01.

Borisov, however, is also making a reference to the cartoons published in Sega, a daily owned by Overgas which is known for its usually "opposition-style" rhetoric.
