In times of global challenges and conflicts, a strong and united Europe is our shield. This is what Prime Minister Rosen Zhelyazkov said on the occasion of May 9 - Europe Day.
"Happy Europe Day! Today we celebrate peace, solidarity and unity - the foundations on which a United Europe is built, adds Zhelyazkov. In his words, Bulgaria is an integral part of the European family. Our membership in the European Union has brought us historic achievements - more modern infrastructure, free movement, better education, support for innovation, sustainable agriculture and real opportunities for young people and business," the Prime Minister noted.
"With European support, we are rebuilding the regions, renovating schools, building a digital and green economy. Our scientists, entrepreneurs and farmers rely on real programs and investments that change our lives," adds Zhelyazkov.
"In days of geopolitical tension, destabilization and hybrid threats, Europe remains a pillar of stability, security and reason, the Prime Minister points out. According to him, Bulgaria's accession to Schengen is a well-deserved recognition. The Eurozone is our next goal and we will soon reach it, because we have proven ourselves as a reliable partner who respects the commitments we have made," says Rosen Zhelyazkov.
"Let us continue together to build a Europe of solidarity - fair, strong, sustainable,", the Prime Minister calls.
