From September 2009 until the end of June 2010, 17 000 ethnic Bulgarians from Macedonia, Moldova, Serbia and Russia, have received Bulgarian passports.
The information was published in the Bulgarian press in response to news coming from the UK raising alarm that 4 to 5 million ethnic Hungarians, Romanians and Bulgarians obtaining citizenship will soon become a major burden for the EU job market.
In Bulgaria, the number of newly granted citizenships went up after the appointment of the center-right cabinet of the Citizens for European Development of Bulgaria (GERB) party and the Minister without Portfolio for Bulgarians Abroad, Bozhidar Dimitrov.
The UK estimates, however, seem very much exaggerated since Romania announced a capacity of 60 000 new passports annually. Hungary will grand in 2011 passports to 2.6 million people living in Slovakia, Romania and Serbia, but the first two are already EU Member States while Hungarians in Serbia are estimated at 300 000.
