position of the european union, and that crimea is not part of russia. just one more question on sanctions. if it comes to pass that there is a russian military move in ukraine, and severe sanctions are put on putin, there is no doubt that putin will respond by taking measures, economic measures, against the eu and nato member states. bulgaria is extremely vulnerable. your energy sector is dominated by gazprom, by lukoil, by russian companies, and you will suffer. do you think your people, 25% of whom say that they regard russia as an ally which shares interests and values with bulgaria, do you think your own people will be happy with that? so, sanctions and energy risk is a big issue. this is why we want to explore all the steps of diplomacy and all the steps of de—escalation before sanctions are imposed, because you are absolutely right — our gas dependency on russia is absolutely, like, it's more than double the one of the average of europe. mm. we also have dependency on the electricity, on our nuclear stations, so, yes, that would be a big problem for us if there is such opposite sanctions — but here i had the chance to speak with our brussels friends
