Reporting his Ministry’s performance in the past nine months, Electronic Governance Minister Alexander Yolovski singled out one accomplishment for the past nine months, proactive services. He said that is something that has been very hard for Bulgaria to introduce for the past 22 years. 

As examples of such services, he said that from January 1, 2025 all people with disabilities in Bulgaria can get an annual vignette for their car automatically, without having to file an application. Also, mothers won’t have to submit an application for the one-off aid for childbirth, or when their children enroll in first and eighth grade.

The second big priority for the coming months is the centralization of public procurements in the electronic government and ICT, “so as to put an end to the secret public procurements and replace them with open procedures where the lowest price wins”, to use Yolovski’s words.

He said in this way the State will cut spendings and use the money instead for improving cybersecurity in the State administration.
