"Figures suggest that an average of 24,201 Bulgarian citizens per year emigrated between the 1992 and the 2001 censuses, while the annual average between the 2001 and the 2011 censuses was 17,524 persons," the OSI said. "Therefore, average annual emigration marked a 28% decline despite the removal of travel restrictions" after Bulgaria entered the Union.
„Te cifre pokazuju da je u proseku 24.201 bugarski državljanin emigrirao svake godine u periodu između popisa 1992. i 2001, dok je godišnji prosek između popisa 2001. i 2011. bio 17.524 osobe“, rekao je IOD. „Prema tome, prosečna godišnja emigracija zabeležila je pad od 28 odsto, uprkos ukidanju ograničenja putovanja“, nakon što je Bugarska ušla u Uniju.
