The tanker has arrived earlier today, the Ministry said in a statement issued on Tuesday, noting that the crude oil will be refined once the unloading is finished.
A tangible improvement in the situation of electricity supply will be witnessed in the coming few days after oil amounts necessary for operating power stations have arrived, the statement added.
