  Let $(X,B)$ be an $\epsilon$-lc pair of dimension $d$ with a closed point
$x\in X$. Birkar conjectured that there is an effective Cartier divisor $H$
passing through $x$ such that $(X,B+tH)$ is lc near $x$, where $t$ is a
positive real number depending only on $d,\epsilon$. We prove that Birkar's
conjecture is equivalent to Shokurov's conjecture on boundedness of klt
complements on Fano fibrations and we confirm Birkar's conjecture in dimension
2. As a corollary, we prove the boundedness of klt complements on Fano
fibrations over surfaces.
