The money is part of a total of nearly €3 billion that the EU is making available through its Modernisation Fund to support 39 projects in 10 member states, BNR correspondent Angelina Piskova reports from Brussels. The fund aims to help 13 low-income countries in the EU, including Bulgaria, in their transition to climate neutrality.
