On Wednesday, the Council of Ministers adopted the Programme for the Support of Bulgarian Communities, Organisations and Media Abroad for 2025. Approximately €90,000 was approved from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' budget for this purpose.


The programme targets Bulgarian communities and organisations abroad, the Government Information Service reports. In times of continuous information exchange, they play an important role in connecting various representatives of the Bulgarian diaspora. This helps inform Bulgarians about processes, events and initiatives within and beyond Bulgarian borders.


The programme will support initiatives by Bulgarian communities, organisations and media outlets in the Western Balkans and Eastern European countries with significant Bulgarian populations. These initiatives are aimed at building the capacity to identify, counter and prevent fake news, disinformation, external interference and information manipulation.
