Bulgaria is not an attractive place for citizens of EU countries to live and work, or for foreigners from third countries. Only 1% of the population of Bulgaria are citizens of other countries, placing Bulgaria in third position, after Poland and Romania, the two countries with the lowest share of non-nationals - under 1%, Eurostat data show.
