保加利亞共和國

位於巴爾幹半島,是歐盟成員,國內對加入歐元區意見分歧,部分歐元成員國也因為保加利亞隱藏的借貸風險有所顧忌。與北馬其頓存在修憲爭議,保加利亞多次阻擋北馬其頓的入歐談判。但2022年雙方總算達成協議。保加利亞傳統上和俄羅斯保持友好關係,但俄烏戰爭爆發後,親歐的時任總理佩特科夫採取強硬的立場,多次譴責俄羅斯並驅逐70多位俄羅斯外交人員,甚至開除了國防部長,因為國防部長不願稱其為「入侵」。然而因為多項因素,佩特科夫在2022年被倒閣。佩特科夫下台後的保加利亞,究竟會維持親歐立場,亦或是反向親俄,有待新總理人選的判斷了。

Bulgaria is located on the Balkan Peninsula with the Black Sea to the east. It was a former member of the Warsaw Treaty Organization and later joined NATO and the European Union in succession. The state can't be said to have cordial relations with Russia. It was ruled by the Roman Empire in 1 AD and Bulgaria has the third highest number of historical sites in Europe. It took three decades to complete the metro system as the construction progress was constantly being stalled by the discovery of yet more historical ruins. It was once purported to be the country with the worst corruption problem in the EU, and it has the lowest GDP per capita in the EU. A number of mass anti-corruption protests broke out in 2020. Rose oil originated in Bulgaria which accounts for 70% of global production.
