- BULGARIA TO HALT OIL EXPORT TO FORMER YUGOSLAV REPUBLICS. On 18
- November Bulgaria banned export of petroleum products to all
- former Yugoslav republics, Reuters reports. While Bulgarian trade
- officials said a ban appeared to be the only way of effectively
- enforcing the tightened UN embargo, the government may also be
- seeking to limit the damage done by widespread violations on the
- Bulgarian economy. The chairman of the national petroleum company
- told Western agencies that many Bulgarian gas stations can no
- longer be supplied due to the disappearance of some 1,000 railway
- cars in ex-Yugoslavia after delivering oil. Like Romania, Bulgaria
- has asked the UN for technical assistance to impose a naval
- blockade on the Danube. (Kjell Engelbrekt, RFE/RL Inc.)
-
- EC CALLS ON BULGARIA TO ACCEPT ASSOCIATION DEAL. Top EC officials
- visiting Sofia on 17November called on Bulgaria to accept the
- proposed association deal and finalize an agreement by the end of
- 1992. Reuters quoted the head of the EC Commissions Foreign
- Affairs Directorate, Pablo Benavides, as saying that EC
- negotiators do not have much room to maneuver and that Bulgaria
- should consider dropping demands for greater trade access. The
- Bulgarian government is requesting bigger trade quotas for
- textiles, steel, and agricultural products. (Kjell Engelbrekt,
