Kyuchukov told the Bulgarian National Radio Thursday that after Bulgaria was admitted to the EU in 2007, the number of Bulgarian students in Britain saw the greatest rise.

"There are many Bulgarians who work in the science field – professors at scientific institutions – as well as many working in the service sector – construction, medicine, banking. And a not so small a group of Bulgarians are trying to develop their own businesses here," he added.
