“We shall submit a budget for stabilizing public finance,” Prime Minister Rosen Zhelyazkov said at a briefing at the Council of Ministers building. “I have full support and I am certain that GERB will give its solid support to this budget with a view to the targets we have set ourselves in the government’s programme of governance, namely meeting the requirements for membership of the Eurozone as of 1 January, 2026. We have the confidence we shall also receive support from our coalition partners,” PM Zhelyazkov said, and congratulated We Continue the Change/Democratic Bulgaria (PP/DB) on the position expressed that they will support the budget submitted, because that is the way for the country to continue steadily along its European path. The specific measures included in the budget will be announced after approval has been obtained from the coalition partners, which is going to happen within 10 days, PM Zhelyazkov stated.
