With its dynamic business sector, universities and civic engagement, Plovdiv will be one of the drivers of euro adoption in Bulgaria, Mayor Kostadin Dimitrov said here on Thursday at an event which is part of the National Information Campaign for the country's entry in the eurozone.

"This meeting is an opportunity for an open conversation, so that we can hear the experts, discuss the benefits and challenges, and move forward together more informed and confident," he said, adding that discussion and the exchange of ideas and opinions are key to a common understanding that adopting the euro offers a real chance for a more stable, predictable and successful future.

"The organizational process has been long and we, as local government, together with the central government, have taken very important steps," Dimitrov said. He recalled that the local regulations and the financial information systems have been changed and that retailers have implemented the required dual display of prices for services and goods.
