"I'm not optimistic about the coming year. Bulgaria remains the poorest, the most illiterate the most corrupt country without the rule of law. We have GDP growth, but the 3-4% rate is not enough to bring us closer to the EU countries. Our healthcare system is in complete chaos. We have no water, yet there was no drought through the year. We also have the most polluted air. From an investment and development country, we have become a country that collects Europe's garbage and burns it. " These are Mika Zaikova’s words from the program “12+4.”
