Russia has pledged to help Bulgaria find potential shareholders for the project company that will build and operate the Belene nuclear power station, Atomstroyexport, the Russian contractor for the plant, said on July 4 2011.

The announcement came three days after Atomstroyexport and Bulgaria's state-owned power utility NEK agreed to delay until September 30 the negotiations on the plant's construction and its price.

Despite the three-month delay, Russia will continue discussions on the project, although Bulgaria's Economy Minister Traicho Traikov had said that Sofia would seek to freeze talks on Belene during the period, Atomstroyexport said.

The Russian company also said it was committed to assisting NEK in the creation of a working group that would seek to solve the problems with the project's financing.

In late 2010, Atomstroyexport's parent company, state nuclear corporation Rosatom, helped Bulgaria secure the two current foreign investors in the Belene project. Finland's major utility Fortum Corp and French technology consultancy Altran Technologies then agreed to get stakes of one per cent each in the project, with Fortum securing an option to increase its holding to 25 per cent.

A stake of 51 per cent in the plant will be controlled by NEK, while the remainder will be owned by Rosatom unless other shareholders can be found.

Georgian products could return to Russian markets by the end of the year, according to opposition Free Georgia party leader Kakha Kukava.

Kukava made the optimistic forecast after returning from a trip to Russia where he met the head of Russia's agency for consumer goods, Rospotrebnadzor, Gennadiy Onishchenko.

"At the meeting it was decided that in the coming period the legal and technical procedures for the return of Georgian products to the Russian market should begin. In this regard, a special meeting with Georgian entrepreneurs and experts will take place soon," Kukava told Georgian journalists.

"In the near future practical steps will be taken to return Georgian products to the Russian market by the end of 2011, which is so important for the economy of Georgia," Kukava said.

In spring of 2006, Rospotrebnadzor banned the import of Georgian wine and Borjomi mineral water, citing the products alleged poor quality as the reason.
