http://www.novinite.com/view_news.php?id=127329Krasimir Parvanov, head of Bulgaria's National Electric Company NEK, has been sacked following objections to a deal he signed with Russian partners for the nuclear power plant project in Belene.
Late Thursday night the Board of Directors of the Bulgarian Energy Holding (BEH), which groups the country's top energy assets, voted unanimously to fire Parvanov as head of NEK, a BEH subsidiary, the holding said in a statement.
The formal motives for dismissing Krasimir Parvanov as the CEO of NEK are "a brutal violation of hierarchical rules, and a failure to observe the approved procedure for holding negotiations."

The scandal erupted on Tuesday last week after the head of the national utility company NEK Krasimir Parvanov signed an agreement with Rosatom's subsidiary Atomstroyexport that potentially threatens Bulgaria's national interests by obliging the Bulgarian government to reach a final agreement with the Russians on Belene by June 1, 2001.
