If necessary, the teams will seek assistance from the State Agency for Metrological and Technical Supervision as well as other state institutions and control bodies.

"We will be checking for the compliance of what is on the documents and what is available as physical quantity of all the fuels, and here I want to reassure the Bulgarian citizens that this will in no way harm the activities of the two trading companies, as well as the supply of fuels to the citizens, said Minister of Interior Kalin Stoyanov ahead of the Interior Ministry's National Meeting for the elections.
