Bulgaria Invites Russian Experts for Talks over N-Plant

Bulgaria's Energy Ministry has sent a formal letter to state-owned Russian company Rosatom, inviting experts from the energy giant to the country, the ministry's press office says.

Minister Temenuzhka Petkova has cited the need to set up the parameters and composition of a working group on the Belene nuclear power plant (NPP) project.

The move to form the working group was agreed by Bulgarian Prime Minister Boyko Borisov and Russian President Vladimir Putin last week. The meeting of Bulgarian and Russian experts should take place between August 15 and 30, Minister Petkova has said.
