SOFIA, Oct 13 (Reuters) - Bulgaria's anti-monopoly

operating in the Balkan country's retail fuel market were
involved in cartel agreements on fuel prices.
On Monday, the commission accused the Bulgarian units of
Lukoil LKOH.MM , Royal Dutch Shell RDSa.L , OMV OMVV.VI ,
Hellenic Petroleum HEPr.AT , Gazprom Neft SIBN.BB and
Bulgarian Petrol 5PET.BB , saying they had collaborated to fix
retail prices of diesel and gasoline. urn:newsml:reuters.com:*:nL8N1CG2QB
