The second payment from the EU under the National Recovery and Resilience Plan of 653 million euros will certainly be refused, even though Bulgaria has implemented 85% of the reforms undertaken to this stage. This was stated at a briefing by Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Innovation and Growth Tomislav Donchev on the occasion of the implementation of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan.

Donchev recalled that weeks ago he warned in parliament about the situation, which, in his words, is worrying. The measures and reforms under the entire plan total 321 until the ninth payment. Of these, Bulgaria has implemented 115, said Donchev and admitted that in 4 years Bulgaria has implemented an insignificant part of the reforms.

7 projects cannot be implemented under the plan by August 31, 2026, for 15 projects the degree of probability of implementation is extremely low, announced Finance Minister Temenuzhka Petkova.
