Bulgaria has resubmitted its second request for payment under the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP), amounting to EUR 653 million. The request covers the implementation of 59 milestones and targets, 20 of which were related to legislative changes, the Ministry of Finance announced.
To implement the reforms, amendments were made to 15 existing laws and 3 new laws were adopted. This is the payment request with the highest number of legislative measures, through which key reforms were implemented, such as the liberalization of the electricity market, promotion of renewable energy generation, establishment of a Counter-Corruption Commission, introduction of personal insolvency, etc.
The second request was resubmitted after being withdrawn on April 17, 2025, due to unfulfilled measures and the risk of losing EU funds. The European Commission will evaluate the payment request within two months.
