"The political crisis is preventing Bulgaria from moving forward and becoming more integrated in the EU," Bulgarian MEP Ilhan Kyuchuk said in an interview for BNR. 

According to him, Bulgarian politicians need to find a formula for a regular cabinet to solve the country's problems. The MEP believes that most political forces in the new 49th Parliament definitely want Bulgaria to belong to Schengen and the Eurozone. 

However, he believes that there is no possibility to renegotiate the Recovery and Resilience plan, as it would need the approval of the European Commission and all EU member states beforehand.
