Bulgaria continues with its plans to change the national currency with the euro from 2024, but the government must increase its active efforts to explain this change to the population, which remains divided on the issue. This was stated by Bulgarian Prime Minister Kiril Petkov in an interview with Bloomberg, and the agency added that this was the first official confirmation of the current single currency exchange rate since he headed the government in December.
In the interview, the Prime Minister also announced that they are working to make Bulgaria one of the countries in the Schengen area within 6 months.
