The caretaker government is continuing the active dialogue with Brussels for renegotiating Bulgaria’s national recovery and resilience plan with regard to the “energy” section, said PM Galab Donev at a meeting with the leaderships of the two biggest trade unions in the country the Confederation of Independent Trade Unions in Bulgaria and Podkrepa Labour Confederation.

Over the next three weeks the Commission is expecting the government to submit specific proposals and steps aimed at increasing the share of green energy in the country’s energy mix. “The country is seeking a balance, so as to preserve the jobs in the coalmining regions and to keep Bulgaria’s position on Europe’s energy map,” Galab Donev stated.
