Inside Bulgaria's Easter Celebrations: Traditions Passed Through Generations
Today marks the joyous celebration of Easter, one of the most significant holidays in the Orthodox Christian calendar.
Bulgaria signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the European Commission and the chairman of the Eurogroup on the production of euro coins, the BNB announced.
The document outlines the practical steps that will allow Bulgaria to start producing euro coins when it receives approval to join the Eurozone. They concern the minting of certain quantities of trial coins with the images of the common sides of the euro coins and the selection of the national designs of the Bulgarian euro coins.

"This is a recognition of the efforts of several governments in this direction, and it is a special recognition of all the countries of the Eurogroup after careful analyzes of the efforts of the caretaker government to cope. This is a recognition that the government in Bulgaria is succeeding and has broken the trend. The efforts to achieving macrostability," Radev pointed out.
The signing of the Memorandum represents an important step towards the country's accession to the Eurozone. The final decision must be taken by the Council of the EU, according to the Bulgarian National Bank (BNB).
