Boyko Borissov: The Whole of
Europe Stands behind Bulgaria,
All EU Programmes Are in Operation


Sofia, January 18 (BTA) - Addressing a general meeting of Women
GERB, the party's women's wing, GERB leader and Prime Minister
Boyko Borissov said: "The whole of Europe stands behind
Bulgaria, all the EU funds were released and we will not lose
any financing. You can see the attitude to Bulgaria of the
United States, Europe and all leaders."

Borissov thanked the other parties participating in the
government because "just what they have done so far is enough to
 prove it was worth forming this government".

Borissov said: "The [previously stopped] EU funds were released
and all EU programmes for Bulgaria are in operation. If we stay
in office in 2015, I can guarantee that an outstanding amount of
 over 5 billion leva will be paid to businesses and
municipalities, among others. You saw in recent weeks that we
paid what was due to the municipalities, over 90,000 individuals
 and companies got 3.3 billion leva they held at Corporate
Commercial Bank. This calmed down the depositors after months of
 waiting. This would not have happened if there had not been a
government."

He added that reforms would be much bolder if the government was
 made up of just GERB and the Reformist Bloc.

GERB and the Reformist Bloc are also backed by the Patriotic
Front and ABV. SN/DD
