The Employment Agency explains that the funds are to finance 20 approved contracts for integration projects of immigrants.

The main goal of the scheme is to provide opportunities for trainings in Bulgarian language, history, civic orientation, and the development of measures for monitoring and assessment with the aim of improving the integration environment.

For the first time the European integration fund in Bulgaria supports measures directed at highly-qualified immigrants, aiming to concentrate its efforts on the improvement of the working environment.

This is aimed at retaining hold of educated immigrants, who had chosen Bulgaria as their second home.

The consolidation of information centers for immigrants, which were built with funds from previous programmes, continues, with the aim of ensuring their sustainability.

The new element is helping the process of establishment and maintenance of international contacts and the organisation of visits and expert meetings through which beneficiaries are to be granted the opportunity to exchange experience in the field of integration.
