Bulgaria's request to extend the deadline for evaluation of its Recovery and Resilience Plan by another month has been received by the European Commission and an answer will be given soon, BNR has learned from a source in the Commission. The first plan was sent on October 15, 2021 and was postponed twice as the second postponement expires on February 15.
The Commission has no preliminary assessment of the latest adjustments to the plan and the dialogue with Sofia continues.
