Bulgaria may be temporarily deprived of part of the money from the second tranche of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan, but only if the anti-corruption commission is politically and financially dependent, the European Commission told the Bulgarian National Radio.

The creation of such a commission is among the key stages necessary for the second payment. If Bulgaria has a problem in this area, but has fulfilled the other key stages and objectives, it will receive the money for them. 

Only the payment of funds intended for the anti-corruption reform will be delayed by 6 months. However, this is hypothetical for now, the Commission points out.
