Russia to suspend gas deliveries to Bulgaria

The Bulgarian government has said Russia's state gas company Gazprom is halting deliveries to the country from tomorrow, Qazet.az reports.

It comes just hours after Poland said its gas supply from Russia was being suspended.

Reuters quoted the Bulgarian energy ministry as saying Bulgaria has taken steps to secure alternative gas supplies and that it has told residents there is no need to restrict gas consumption at the moment.

It said Gazprom has proposed a new payment scheme which breaches its current contract with Bulgaria.
