Regarding the Green Deal, trade unionists exchanged experience with their counterparts from other EU countries and the Western Balkans.
According to Veselin Mitov, International Secretary of the Podkrepa Confederation of Labor, Romanian miners from Baia Mare are facing the same problem.

According to the experts from "Podkrepa", the key issue is how the Green Deal will be implemented and within what timeframe the thermal power plants in Bulgaria will be closed.
