  1. >Bulgarian Finance Minister Asen Vasilev said the goal of the tax was not to make gas more expensive for consumers in Hungary and Serbia but to make it less profitable for the Russian state energy company Gazprom to ship gas via Bulgaria.

    >“Because most Gazprom contracts are priced at the point of delivery in a given country, the tax will most likely have no impact on prices downstream…. It will only reduce Gazprom’s profits,” he told the Financial Times in an interview published on October 17.

    …..

    >Serbia also has expressed fears that the new tax imposed by Bulgaria would make gas more expensive. Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said the tax would “drastically increase” the price of gas that Serbia pays.

    Ok, so…who’s lying?

  2. Serbia and Hungary will whine to their master putin and beg him to invade them again.
