Postponing the liberalization of the energy market may lead to no PVA payment, but more likely we will get half the money. This is what Atanas Pekanov, Deputy Prime Minister for the management of European funds in the governments of Stefan Yanev and Galab Donev, predicted to BTV.
It is not the most correct rejection of these steps, he believes. The concept of energy poor should have been introduced, in my opinion. The office "Denkov" he did nothing in this direction, according to Pekanov. This stops the introduction of liberalization, he added.
On the one hand, I support the Green Deal, Pekanov pointed out, but excessive ambitions hinder Europe's progress. I can't be optimistic about PVU after the final year, he said.
We need European sovereignty, commented Atanas Pekanov. A certain sovereignty of individual countries is also needed, according to him. We should be active in the EU, in his opinion. We will probably enter the Eurozone by 2026, according to Pekanov's forecast.
Sooner or later he will meet the criteria, he was categorical. Every year of delay is a loss, he said, but we shouldn't set unrealistic expectations. He is disappointed by the Pehlivan struggles in the National Assembly.
