In his words, his country is moving steadily towards a zero-emission economy, The UK is working with its partners in Bulgaria in its efforts to support and improve energy efficiency and also 'clean up' the energy mix. The UK is also working with many other countries in Central and Eastern Europe, in the Balkans, in the Black Sea region, the Ambassador said.
