Nakon tog prijedloga, Ministar obrazovanja Sergei Ivanov prisjetio se da su studenti koje je sponzorisala država ranije morali ili potpisati petogodišnje ugovore o radu u Bugarskoj, ili otplaćivati školarinu.
Echoing the suggestion, Education Minister Sergei Ivanov recalled that state-sponsored students formerly had to either sign five-year agreements to work in Bulgaria, or repay their tuition.
