Bulgaria will have access to financial resource to the tune of more than EUR 29 billion in the next programming period. For the purpose, this country has to determine the priority areas and funding mechanisms by September. The anti-crisis funds will be allocated for the next 4 years and their term is shorter than the term of the operational programes. At a meeting with representatives of the Bulgarian Industrial Capital Association, this country’s Deputy Premier Tomislav Donchev pointed out that the EU Recovery Plan not only allows the EU economies to recover from the Covid-19 pandemic, but to develop further as well. The future measures towards energy efficiency directly related to the European Green Deal, innovation, digitalization, education and science, are among the top priorities.
