European debate in Bulgaria

Rumjana Batschwarowa asks whether Bulgaria will become "more European" after the election of its MEPs on May 20th. "The first elections will show how interested Bulgarians are in European issues and problems. ... For those Europeans who are trying to understand the peculiarities of our nation it would be important to see what historical compensation EU membership will give Bulgarians - as opposed to forced membership in the Ottoman Empire or the Soviet Union. This question may seem exaggerated and too theoretical to modern Bulgarians, but it's important to recognise the echo in public opinion of historical and global events regarding the European Union."
