An excellent meeting with Bulgariaโs Interior Minister Daniel Mitov. The UK must continue deepening our cooperation, from national security and countering Russian disinformation to tackling illegal migration and creating more opportunities to trade together ๐ฌ๐ง ๐ง๐ฌ


I spoke at International Democracy Union in Brussels on Europe's migration crisis. โWho comes, who stays, who pays? Fixing Europeโs immigration systemโ. Respect means that those who come to Europe must not only be given protection - they must be expected to contribute.


A remarkable day. Another step forward on Bulgariaโs path to the euro. The positive assessments by European Central Bank and European Commission confirm our progress โ but the work continues. This follows years of reforms, commitment, and alignment with our European partners.

๐ง๐ฌ๐ค๐บ๐ธ Productive meeting in Washington with Deputy Assistant Secretary Sonata Coulter. We discussed ๐ง๐ฌโs strong progress on joining the Visa Waiver Program & joint steps against money laundering. ๐ง๐ฌ Bulgaria is back with a stable govโt, committed to ๐ช๐บ #Eurozone by Jan 2026.


๐ง๐ฌ๐ค๐บ๐ธ In my meeting with Cartland Whaley at the State Dept, I made it clear: ๐ง๐ฌ must be a reliable barrier against fentanyl and drug trafficking entering ๐ช๐บ. Together with top Bulgarian police chiefs, we discussed joint action on drugs, money laundering & counterfeit currency.










๐ง๐ฌ๐ค๐ท๐ด Starting at midnight, border checks between Bulgaria and Romania will be liftedโanother step toward true free movement in Europe. Together with @MagnusBrunner ๐ช๐บ and Sevi Voloudaki ๐ฌ๐ท, we marked #Schengen40 at Kulata. Schengen means freedomโand shared responsibility.


๐ช๐บ๐ง๐ฌ Itโs official. With 531 votes in favor in the EP and the final endorsement from EU finance ministers, #Bulgaria is set to adopt the euro on January 1, 2026. This marks a historic milestone, paving the way for a stronger Bulgaria, firmly anchored in Europeโs shared future.


A heartfelt thank you to all international teams supporting Bulgaria in the fight against wildfires ๐ง๐ฌ๐ฅ Special thanks to ๐ญ๐บ ๐จ๐ฟ ๐ธ๐ฐ ๐ซ๐ท ๐ท๐ด ๐ธ๐ช ๐น๐ท for their timely help, professionalism & solidarity. Swedish firefighting planes ๐ธ๐ช will remain throughout August.
