EU Commisioner On Another Fee VIP Holiday
This is a complete and utter waste of money – AGAIN. I had already stated my case as to why on a previous post, (more-eu-money-wasted-on-bulgarian-vip) All this guy is going to do is have a VIP tour of Bulgaria paid by the EU taxpayers and he will ...
What a Waste From The EC
The European Commission is just bullying Bulgaria and using tactics that just are not in line of sensible action. Instead of giving out financial penalties they should support the action on waste with financial help. The problem in Sofia lies plainly...
Bulgarian\'s Pay Dearly And Unfairly For Smoking
When I read this I wasn’t in the least surprised with the plan. Forget about the next 9 years, the previous five years have seen a regular rise in the price of tobacco products already, so the established trend is just set to continue. Who suffers?...
More Wolves In Bulgaria? Do We Need Imports!?
I think Bulgaria has enough wolves for the moment. They keep me awake at night with their howling, especially during a clear night and full moon. I have been told to take a gun with me if I go out walking in the hills that surround my home, as they h...
More EU Money Wasted On A Bulgarian VIP Trip
What a pointless waste of money this is. How much is the cost of this trip and what will it achieve? - Lots of dosh and nothing respectively. All that will happen is that the commissioner will get treated like royalty told a load of lies and that’s...
Medical and Education Funds Spent Wisely In Bulgaria Is The Key
Who says Bulgaria wants to be an average European state? This is a quote that just typifies what is the EU is doing to Bulgaria. It wants to make it another sterile country with a EU identity and forgo its character and culture. It may just be the pe...
Free Rakia Making Goes On In Bulgaria - For Now Anyway
Power to the people, power to the rakia making in Bulgaria may it live on forever! It is for sure that any government in Bulgaria would fall at the next election if they decide ban or put tax on home made rakia. The EU have also tried to enforce this...
Danube A New Power Source For Bulgarian And Romania
This is good news coming from countries that need to have a more independent source of energy. Environmentally it seems the best option but I do wonder whether the loss of water surge beyond the power system in place will affect wildlife further down...
Threats To Bulgaria From The EU - From Afar
Threats come and go very week to Bulgaria regarding getting their house in order with corruption that is more than seemingly ripe. Will this have an affect on what happens? No, it is basically out of control of anyone and threats of this nature are j...
Britain's Working Families Fund The Bulgarian Mafia
I find this not surprising at all that the country I abandoned because I felt they didn’t care about me as a Brit now is funding the country I now live in. It just goes to prove a point that in this case unwittingly forced to pay, the UK cares more...
Bulgaria Slowly Losing Its Soul To The EU
What a shame, so many other EU countries have lost their National currencies and the feeling is quite sterile. Bulgaria losing the Bulgarian Lev, which was first introduced during the process of Bulgaria's independence in 1881. The lev currency, whic...
Agriculture Minisiter Ploughs Into Farming Reforms In Bulgaria
Ignoring EU directive seems to have been the reason agriculture in Bulgaria is in such a state. Apportioning blame is one thing but actually getting down and fixing the problem is quite another. Why is the newly instated Agricultural Minister Mirosla...
EU Funds To Bulgarian Dairy Farmers - EU Assessment Now
My neighbour used to be a dairy farmer; he gave it up two years ago due to the lack of profit made from it. It is a labour intensive vocation with no rest bite and the rewards are minimal. It was a hard decision to make as the family has a long histo...
Boiko Next Bulgarian PM - Tell Us Something New
Boiko Borissov the next PM? This is a no news report everyone who knows anything knew this was going to happen. Well I suppose they have to go through the motions on this. Not too sure whether Georgi and Boiko get on too well looking at the body lang...
EU Influenced Food Inspectors Out For Profits In Bulgaria
This had to come to Bulgaria at some point as I see on a day-to-day basis the casual way that food is stored handled and prepared for public diners. To be fair in all the time I have eaten in Bulgaria I have only had one bout of food poisoning and th...
Bulgaria's Rubbish Problem Remains
EU standards come into play again as Bulgaria has to clean up its act in landfill regulations that conform to EU health standards. A big, big job when you consider the decades of unregulated rubbish that has mounted up. It never used to be that bad b...
Bulgaria Has The Cheapest Food In Europe - Relatively Speaking
Bulgaria is shown to be the cheapest EU country for food, non-alcoholic drinks and hotels. Not surprising that so many people come here because of that fact. The main cost for holidays here is the airfare and even that can be bought at rock bottom pr...
An Impressive Boyko To Stand Up For Bulgaria
Boyko has made an impressive start as the future Prime Minister of Bulgaria. His first in depth television interview showed how much of a diplomat he has evolved into, but retaining a great sense of leadership and having his own mind. Having his own ...
Bulgaria Makes Closer Ties Withn Kosovo
Good to see that further positive ties with Kosovo are being made right now with the new government being formed in Bulgaria. I suppose it is Bulgaria that is the EU ambassador as it stands. Five more jobs created for Bulgarians, maybe that was one m...

A Dutchman’s opinion suggests that Bulgaria and Romania get kicked out of European Union. He would have a lot of friends in Bulgaria for is views on that suggestion. His ideals are based on Nationalism more than anything else and probably trying to...
