We have made great efforts together with the Revenue Agency and managed to collect 1.2 billion euro more for 2015, Bulgarian Prime Minister Boyko Borissov said during a conference on the topic of “New program period and local authorities’ perspective.” The Prime Minister added that thanks to the rising revenues the state would be able to cover gaps in the budgets of the municipalities in order to stabilize them, but that did not mean they should calm down. PM Borissov called on the municipalities to use the forum and discuss local issues with the representatives of the executive power.
