The two want information on what measures have been taken under point five of the agreement (concerning the unconditional removal from the territorial just transition plans of an enterprise for the conversion of the coal-producing areas), whose deadline for implementation is October 31. Borissov and Peevski also want an answer to whether actions have been taken on the other points.

The deadline is December 31, 2023.
