The technical approval of the Recovery and Resillience Plan is expected on March 15, after which the assignment of projects can begin, Minister of Finance and Deputy Prime Minister Assen Vassilev said. He confirmed that according to the document, only energy facilities that do not meet environmental standards, such as Brikel and Bobov Dol, would be closed. The Deputy Prime Minister assessed the latest changes in the plan as positive for Bulgaria, especially at the backdrop of the situation in Ukraine.

According to him, the maintenance of such a facility was a matter of national security, especially in cases of disruption of global supplies and communication routes.
