Changes to the Recovery and Resilience Plan

Caretaker Deputy Prime Minister for European Funds Maria Nedina announced a successful renegotiation with the European Commission regarding the deadlines for implementing key reforms under the Recovery and Resilience Plan (RRP).

"With the agreed amendments, we managed to save 401 million euros and provide a longer time horizon for implementation for the future regular government," Nedina pointed out.

What are the new deadlines?

Prime Minister Andrey Gyurov confirmed that the EC has already given an official positive opinion on the changes, which prevents a potential loss of funds whose deadline for implementation was expiring today, May 4.
