Bulgaria would send the Plan for Recovery and Sustainability to Brussels by October 15, caretaker Prime Minister Stefan Yanev said after participation in the "Thracian Memory" event in Madzharovo.

A few days ago, Deputy Prime Minister for European Funds Atanas Pekanov said that the lack of vision in the energy sector hindered the presentation of the document. According to him, Bulgaria had vowed to stop using coal by 2035 but no measures were set towards achieving this goal.

The Prime Minister also commented on the presidential race, saying that everything should happen in front of the people, in order to avoid creating the impression that something was being done behind the scenes.
