According to Petkova, a contractor was selected but no agreement was signed as the sub-contractor did not meet the requirements.

A new competition was held and Bulgartransgaz selected a new sub-contractor, which an agreement has already been signed with. In the minister’s words, this is the Austrian company Habau, which is one of the biggest in Europe.
