According to Bulgaria’s Deputy Premier for Good Governance Kalina Konstantinova, this money is a pre-financing under the Recovery Assistance for Cohesion and the Territories of Europe (REACT-EU) mechanism. Kalina Konstantinova attended a discussion at the European Parliament Liaison Office in Sofia themed "The Road Ahead to Ukrainian Refugees in Europe and in Bulgaria". She expressed hope that next week Bulgaria will adopt a measure aimed at encouraging the employers to hire Ukrainian refugees. Bulgaria is also working on two other measures-support for the NGO sector for fieldwork and setting up centers for children. In Kalina Konstantinova's words, more than 85% of the Ukrainian refugees in Bulgaria have received temporary protection documents, the largest percentage in the EU.
