The number of Bulgarian citizens returning to their home country has recently increased. Nearly 35,000 Bulgarians returned to Bulgaria in the past 3 years. The number of Bulgarian nationals emigrating abroad is still high and amounts to nearly 25,000 people per year. However, the wave of Bulgarians returning to their country has brought net migration to a record-low level in the past three decades, the report of Open Society Foundation named Migration Trends in Bulgaria shows. According to the national statistics, in 2016 a total of 21,241 people moved permanently to Bulgaria from abroad. 46% of them were born in Bulgaria, 9% were born in other EU member states and the rest came mainly from Turkey, Russia and Ukraine, Dnevnik daily writes.
