“In two weeks’ time there will be an informal labour and social policy ministers’ meeting and I shall demand that, until Great Britain leaves the EU, the rights of working Bulgarians be respected and European law observed because the free movement of persons and the free market are fundamental EU values,” said Minister of Labour and Social Policy Zornitsa Roussinova. She stated she did not expect a mass return of Bulgarians after Brexit. In her words there are 60,000 – 70,000 Bulgarians working in Great Britain, many of them are highly qualified and if they come back to work in Bulgaria, that would be a good sign of economic development.
