With the arrival of the New Year 2026 and the adoption of the single European currency—the euro—Bulgaria has been given its chance for a new beginning.
Now our country must move forward with confidence, stability, and national self-assurance, and we must not allow division and hatred to undermine statehood and the democratic order.
In times of trial, the state needs security, functioning institutions, and sensible decisions made in the interest of the people.
I wish health and prosperity to Bulgarian families, and the confidence that tomorrow will be safer and fairer. The best is yet to come!
Happy New Year!
