Bulgaria has received encouraging signals at the Eurogroup meeting. "The country has made even greater progress in fulfilling the price stability criterion," said European Commissioner for the Economy Valdis Dombrovskis.

When Sofia considers that it is ready to submit a request for an extraordinary convergence report, we will assess whether it meets the criteria for successful integration into the eurozone, Eurogroup President Paschal Donohoe said.
