EU Sparked Inflation In Bulgaria Sends Shoppers Abroad

Yet another prime example of what the EU is doing to Bulgaria and how it affects Bulgarians in a negative way. Prices are climbing and climbing here because the EU bureaucrats are aiming a uniform cost of living but refuse to take into account the wages that each country gets. Bulgaria has the lowest in Europe and an EU sparked inflation that is not commensurate to this.

Bulgarian citizens rushed to buy sugar, flour, detergent, home-made rakia, salami and other meat products from the stores in Kriva Palanka in Macedonia, because of the drastic price hike in the country after its accession in the EU in 2007, Macedonian Dnevnik daily writes.
Macedonian goods turn more and more attractive to Bulgarians, who come to do their shopping in Kriva Palanka, mostly during the holidays. Traders say that this is only the beginning of the upcoming inflow of customers from Bulgaria’s border regions of Kyustendil and even Sofia and other cities.
For now, Bulgarian customers are heading mainly to food products. Bigger trade chains are crowded during the weekends, the newspaper says, adding that the business, hotel-keeping and other services are going to bloom over the next month and contribute to the development of the Macedonian municipality, which was affected by the low prices in Bulgaria in the past.
