It is recommended that Bulgaria should ensure effective management for the rapid implementation of the economic recovery plan and absorption of EU grants.

The third recommendation is that Bulgaria should reduce its dependence on fossil fuels, accelerate the transition to clean energy, quickly introduce renewable energy sources and opportunities to store the energy produced by them.
