 Between 1988 and 1990 the three last series of shipments - each consisting of 10,000-12,000 complete knockdown kits - arrived at the Lovech factory, after which the contract with the AZLK was cancelled.In 1988 the Chairman of the Industrial Council of the Council of Ministers Ognyan Doynov tried to negotiate with the Soviet Minister of Automotive Production regarding a joint production of up to 50,000 ZAZ-1102 "Tavria" passenger cars at the Lovech factory.However, the fall of Communism in Eastern Europe and the changed political alignment of the two countries put an end to the negotiations with ZAZ, which also put an end to the last attempt at a Bulgarian car-building industry during the Communist period.
