“Bulgaria has absorbed over 92% of European resources,” said Bulgarian Prime Minister Boyko Borisov, speaking at the inauguration of the renovated bazaar in district centre Yambol, Southeast Bulgaria
.
“Despite the Oresharski experiment [the government of Plamen Oresharski] and the loss of nearly 2 years, we have [an absorption rate of] 92% to 93% and are already ahead of Romania and other countries,” Borisov remarked.

He added Bulgaria was among the top eight countries in terms of European funds absorption.

“For this reason they immediately restarted European fund [payments,” Borisov underscored.

In his words, had the payments under some programmes been restarted as of July 1, 2015, it would have been impossible to do the things achieved so far.

“So, people in Brussels show not understanding but great love of Bulgaria,” the senior official was explicit.

Boyko Borisov stated the cabinet, mayors, and administrations made all required efforts.He also urged work should be finalised without delays.
