Today, Bulgaria adopts the euro as its official currency. 💶

A new currency, a stronger bond with Europe.

Travel, work, and business will become easier and more connected.

With Schengen now fully in place, this means more freedom, more opportunities, and a shared future.

Progress is not a dream. It is a choice. And Bulgaria has chosen it.

Let's keep moving forward together. 🇪🇺🇧🇬

@EUCommission Sorry Bulgaria. May your trajectory not be like Grece, Croatia and the rest!

@EUCommission

I don't understand why people are so negative here. The common currency space has had considerable advantages for all countries involved (and especially the smaller ones, think the Baltic states).

@christianbeier @EUCommission for the local political and business elite? Definitely! For the commoner that has a modicum of wealth, most of it will be wiped during the first 3 months of transition.
