Bulgarian Prime Minister Rosen Jeliazkov has accused Russia of disinformation campaigns against Bulgaria's adoption of the euro and underlined Russian influence in Moldova.

Jeliazkov said that Bulgaria has concrete evidence of Russia's involvement in disinformation campaigns affecting its European integration. He highlighted the historical similarities between Bulgaria and Moldova, both of which have a Soviet past, and underlined efforts to support the Bulgarian community in Taraclia through education. The PM described Russian influence as a "semi-hybrid influence" aimed at weakening trust in the countries' strategic choices.
