During a meeting of the parliamentary committee on labour, social and demographic policy, Bulgaria's Social Minister Georgi Gyokov said that support was being considered for all employers who hire Ukrainian citizens. After the approval of the Ministry of Finance and the Council of Ministers, there will be a scheme for subsidizing employers with funds from the Human Resources Development Operational Programme. 

An option is also being considered, according to which the Ministry of Labour will pay the minimum wage and social security contributions for three months, and then only social security contributions for another three months. 
According to Minister Gyokov, the possibility of financing babysitters is also being discussed, as well as providing vouchers for language courses to Ukrainian citizens.
