Deputy PM Pekanov hopes Bulgaria to receive 90-95% of money under RRP

Bulgaria is expected to receive another 109 million euros this week under the National Recovery and Resilience Plan, Deputy Prime Minister Atanas Pekanov told bTV. This country has received just over 70% of the funds under the plan. My goal is to reach over 90% - 95%. A lot of delays have accumulated over the years, Pekanov said.

The key for the European Commission was to show whether the new majority has the will for anti-corruption reforms. In just two weeks, both the Law on the Anti-Corruption Commission and a law that was expected regarding the accountability of the Prosecutor General were adopted, which unlocks another 109 million that we will receive this week, Pekanov commented.
