A backup plan of action has also been approved in the event of a no-deal Brexit. In the words of Foreign Minister Ekaterina Zaharieva the plan approved, which covers every sphere of public life, aims to restrict the negative consequences of Brexit. In any possible scenario this country will guarantee a maximum of continuity and consistency with regard to the rights of citizens and Bulgarian businesses. In view of the current state of play of the process Bulgaria is getting ready for a no-deal withdrawal.
