Manfred Weber, Chairman of the EPP group at the European Parliament stated, in an interview for the BNR that Bulgaria is one of the countries which will be able to benefit from the Covid-19 recovery fund despite the fewer cases.

Manfred Weber added that Bulgaria had also been affected by the economic crisis because of the pandemic, that is why it should have access to this fund.

The fund is expected to be presented at the European Parliament tomorrow by European commission President Ursula von der Leyen.
