The flows of gas to Serbia, Hungary and Romania continued at midnight, announced Bulgartransgaz.

The transfer continued upon the completion of the works on the repairing of the malfunction on a part of the gas pipeline near the village of Vetrino, announced the Bulgarian radio station BNR.

Gas transfers were temporarily stopped on November 1.

As said, the Embassy of the Russian Federation in Sofia confirmed that, at the request of the Bulgarian government, Gazprom had increased gas flows to Bulgaria at favorable prices.

In November, the price of gas for Bulgaria dropped to EUR 46.55 per MWh, which is about a half of the average price of gas in Europe.
