Bulgaria’s printed media accentuate on Friday on the country’s stand towards the latest developments in the EU. Most newspapers quote on March 10 the statement of Bulgaria’s President Rumen Radev at the European Council meeting in Brussels that Sofia was against the idea of a multi-speed Europe. Duma daily frontpages a headline: “Bulgaria’s President Radev calls for unity and solidarity”. "Bulgaria drives in the emergency lane of the multi-speed Europe", Standart daily writes on Friday. Financial expert Svetozar Gledachev told the newspaper that Bulgaria would not have been able to build new motorways, factories, or have new technologies and machinery without the money collected by the EU taxpayers. If Bulgaria was not an EU member, it would face the problems Macedonia is currently facing and that security in that country would be similar to the one in Somalia and Afghanistan, the analyst further comments. Sega daily focusses on the recent survey of Eurobarometer. According to that survey, the Bulgarian citizens beleive that the biggest advantage of the country’s membership in the EU is the opportunity to study, live and work on the territory of each EU member state, followed by the opportunity to share common policies in migration and defense fields. Eurobarometer underlines that the confidence of the Bulgarian citizens towards the EU is still higher than the confidence towards the national institutions. The disputes about the idea of a multi-speed Europe cast shade on the 60th anniversary of the signature of the Treaties of Rome, Blagovest Benishev comments for Trud daily. The author reminds that the dispute of the multi-speed Europe has been held for over a decade and was initiated by the Czech Republic and Poland after their accession to the EU in 2004. In Blagovest Benishev’s words, “it is important for Bulgaria to uphold its presence in the EU as part of the common past and future of Europe and refrain from complaining about the existence of the eternal injustice”.
