Bulgarian PM about EU funds: Blocked during former ruling, unblocked now

Bulgaria will receive about BGN 180 mln “fresh money” under the PHARE program. This is what Prime Minister Boyko Borisov said. In his words-this is considerable political stimulus for the government.

Borisov said that he has received Wednesday a fax from the EU Commissioner for Enlargement Olli Rehn. It was noted in the letter that as a result of the constructive dialogue he announces that the European Commission has taken the decision to unblock funds under the program.

There are the assessments both me and Bulgarians citizens are interested in, he said.

EU funds have been blocked during the ruling of the former government and are unblocked during our ruling.
