Bulgaria Breaks from Russia’s Orbit with Eurozone Move by 2026

[bannork]

As inflation, integration, and influence dominate headlines across the EU, Bulgaria is preparing to take one of its biggest steps since joining the bloc: adopting the euro. If all goes to plan, the leva will be replaced by the euro on January 1, 2026, moving the country into the core of EU monetary policymaking.

The country would become the 21st member of the eurozone, and the governor of Bulgaria’s central bank would gain a seat on the ECB’s Governing Council.

Like all former Soviet-Satellite States. They have smelled the sweet taste of the European monetary "flesh pots". Otherwise they have nothing in common with Western European Values. Their hearts beat for the western "flesh pots" as well as the new Tsar.

 

Western Europe needs none of such "new members".
