The European Commission has allowed the deadline for evaluation of Bulgaria's Recovery and Resilience Plan to be extended by another month, the Commission officials told BNR. It is expected that after the next revision the assessment of the plan will be given on March 15.

A few days ago, Prime Minister Kirill Petkov told the Bulgarian parliament that a new version of the plan had been sent to Brussels, adding that it had revised sectoral energy policies due to dependencies related to gas supplies and tensions between Russia and Ukraine.
