European Commission Requests Urgent Nomination of New Bulgarian European Commissioner

An urgent task before the Bulgarian government and parliament!

The European Commission (EC) will officially ask Bulgaria to nominate a new Bulgarian European Commissioner. This became clear from a telephone conversation between the Prime Minister Academician Nikolay Denkov and the President of the EC Ursula von der Leyen, reported by the press center of the Council of Ministers (MC).

The prime minister thanked von der Leyen for the congratulations on the election of the new government.

In the conversation, Academician Nikolay Denkov briefly presented the priorities of the new cabinet – the preparation of the budgets for this and the next year, the acceptance of Bulgaria into the Schengen area and the Eurozone, as well as all legislative changes and reforms related to the National Recovery and Sustainability Plan.

The two are planning a personal meeting, which will most likely take place in Brussels before the regular meeting of the European Council, scheduled for June 29 and 30.
