The European Commission has disbursed €438.6 million to Bulgaria as part of the second payment under the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF).
On 3 October 2025, the Commission partially approved the payment, stating that Bulgaria "still needs to implement one outstanding milestone relating to the reform of the Anti-Corruption and Illegal Assets Forfeiture Commission".
The Commission will consider releasing the remaining funds once this key milestone has been addressed. The second payment request under the RRF amounted to a total of €653 million.
