Bulgaria has not yet received a response from When will the European Commission have a second payment under the Recovery and Resilience Plan.
This raises the question of whether our country will finally lose European funds.
The correspondent of bTV in Brussels, Desislava Mincheva, reviews why the response from the European Commission is delayed.
„ The Commission, in close cooperation with the Bulgarian rulers, continues to evaluate point by point what has been done by Bulgaria in the part of the Plan for this second payment “, reads a public position from a representative of the European Commission.
The European Commission approves payments to member countries when the changes are currently complete – the laws are recognized and the result of these changes at this moment is a reality, reminded the correspondent of bTV in Brussels.
The topic explained in the show „ Face to face “ on bTV Atanas Pekanov, former deputy prime minister in charge of European funds.
„ A year at this point, nothing is happening and I am worried that the money will leave “, announced Pekanov.
He reminded that several more laws and repairs in some laws remain to be recognized by the National Assembly.
„ For months, the European Commission has been asking us what is going on. I can't blame the cabinet as they don't have much to do. I have been in a similar situation “, added the former deputy prime minister in charge of European funds.
