Most Bulgarians (60%) are optimistic about the future of the EU. The EU-wide figure is 65%, according to a Eurobarometer post-election survey published by the European Parliament. 

Positive attitudes towards the Community are also high - more than half of Bulgarians (51%) and 48% of all EU citizens. 

When asked whether their country benefits from being part of the EU, 53 per cent of Bulgarians answered positively, compared to 70 per cent across the Union. EU policies affect their daily lives, according to 61 per cent of Bulgarians and 72 per cent of the rest of the bloc. For 53 per cent of Bulgarians and 67 per cent of the rest of the EU, their country's membership is important. 

It should be noted that these positive answers in Bulgaria have increased by 6 per cent in recent months, reports BTA.
