Bulgaria will be able to join the eurozone when it meets the inflation criterion, outgoing finance minister Assen Vassilev said in the National Assembly during a debate on state-owned Bulgarian Energy Holding.

The outgoing minister pointed out that the law on the introduction of the euro has already been submitted for public discussion and should be adopted as soon as a specific date is announced.
