- Many Balkan countries have been struggling with brain drain for years, but Bulgaria has become an exception with its people returning home in record numbers. Aksel Zaimovic is in Sofia for TRT World’s Across The Balkans to find out what's driving Bulgarians to come back.

Thank you, guys, for representing our country in such a good manner.
As a foreigner...I'd vouch for Bulgaria anytime..the best place to live .
Nothing better than Sweet Home County.
Well in my view as a foreigner, I do prefer Bulgaria over Luxembourg despite the fact of the salary differences and the quality of life. I'm here since 3 and half years and me as a 1% guy who comes from a capitalist, monarchy country, I want to make this country as a paradise. I pretty much enjoy here!
Thank you! I visited Luxembourg in 2019 and I loved mix between German Order and French style. Hopefully we can become the Luxembourg of the Balkans!
We dont want to be Luxemburg or Switzerland of the Balkans, we wanna be Bulgarians! Luxemburg is corrupt, Bulgaria is not like that in its nature! We gotta kick Boyko out of the country + all the western influences that came in with his party.
Of course you gonna prefer Bulgaria, if you got life no one ever had in the country.Most of the western imigrants in Bulgaria , got with less money luxary life that even rich bulgarians cant dream about.99% of all foreigners in Bulgaria do IT, IT menagement, finances, sales, outsourcing or corporate business so they dont depend from the situation and the reality in Bulgaria!!!
I'll swap with you, I much prefer Luxembourg
@@MladenVass I am thinking about immigrating to Bulgaria, but certainly not to have a luxurious life.
All i d want is a working placement (hospital) and enough income for a home and food.
The language seems close to Russian, which I ve been studying in the pandemic, so it shouldn't be impossible to learn Bulgarian.
I’m in my third year abroad and I can’t wait to return home... changing your surroundings really changes your perspective overtime.
This is good. These countries are facing ageing and fertility crises so young people returning from abroad is certainly a good thing
Exactly, but the reason behind the less pregnancy rates and ageing population, is modern feminissm.
Western Countries are growing shitholes.

@@paikuhansensei815 Earth is already overpopulated, why is that a problem that people stopped breeding like crazy? Humanity should go back down to a sustainable 6billion. Also in educated countries no one is going to give birth when they can barely sustain themselves, let alone an entire family.
Hi young Bulgarian people .I would definitely encourage you to come back home and build your future here . I myself live abroad for many ears and was trapped by my own delusions .Here in Bulgaria your will feel vivid and alive more likely human being and feel the taste of freedom .Bulgaria has a huge potential but depend who govern it .I hope my message will reach you and make you reconsider which is your country.I wish all of you bright future .
Thank you. I cannot wait to return.
Тамън това правя за сега ! И трябва много други да продължат .. да се връщат с парите где са забрали и да помват да инвестират !
I am a Bulgarian who just returned back. I have to agree that I feel the potential in the air and it's surprisingly full of opportunities. Even money is starting to roll over around. But it's just the first glimpse of Revive of my beautiful country.
Thank you for this. I moved back in 2018, because i graduated college - covid hadn’t even started then. I love this, I wish I could do more to help Bulgaria.
Coming back to BG this week :)
NO PLACE LIKE HOME 😊🇧🇬
Thank you, we definitely need someone to show the world we're not that bad.... We lack confidence and faith in ourselves...
I have visited Bulgaria and can see even as a holidaymaker this is a place that can grow a lot. Your young people could work to improve education and roll back corruption and organised crime. That would pay dividends. These young people clearly have business and language skills and others such as science and engineering which should kick start large economic growth
Love to Bulgaria from Colombia
Love to Colombia from Bulgaria. I am Bulgarian and visited it last summer. Viva Cali ♥️
Corruption is international business not a weakness of a specific nation
Nice work! You deserve more views 👍
It has some interesting points, will be good to see the rest of it. However, what Mr Boyadzhiev said its NOT necessarily the case for everyone; I have chosen to return home after almost 12yrs abroad and having obtained 3yrs visa in Wellington, NZ. He could have pointed out for example the family reasons; so many people around the world DID NOT loose, BUT DID CHOOSE to quit their jobs, and to return to be around their loved ones.
Many bring their loved ones with them in the new country that they imigrate.
How important is the symbolism in any country’s welcoming tourists , foreigners or returnees ? Yes it is important the first opinion we all get from visiting places around the globe ,something that represents the pride ,dignity , history , something to remember and bring back home and talk about it or show it to others .
In Canada I’ve learned for the last 30 years ,equality , accepting diversity ,helping one another and the most important to give good example .
People with _first-hand_ experience have come to realize that the "Hollywood Dream" is quite different from the reality.
I did not leave BG because of economical nor political reasons, I loved it. Every young person has to spend some time as an immigrant.
The lessons are priceless. One does not fully value home until one leaves for a while.
Many nations are used to live under some sort of rules and guidances and cannot function properly outside this frame. This was the point where I found out that we Bulgarians have very high spiritual freedom and thinking which is almost nowhere to be found in today's world. And that is the reason why you should join our nation!
Bulgarians have very high spiritual freedom called CHALGA !
thats amazing
Well done. Good program!
🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬
I love that spirit
Speaking as someone who loves travel and has worked in different EU countries it really is gratifying to return home. Yes, The Netherlands, France, Germany, Spain, Italy... They're all nice places and the work there pays well, but you will always be a foreigner there. Even if you prove yourself as a capable and smart person, they will always look at you as a dirty gypsy with no culture and no intelligence. The one from the poor country that either no one's heard of or they've heard only bad stuff about. Things here are terrible, but the roads aren't paved in gold elsewhere... The people of Western Europe have also suffered a lot of hardships, but they didn't simply run away from home because of that. They changed their situation. And though it won't be easy, we can do the same
за тези хардшипс дето гошориш да не би да са геноцидите и краденето по цял свят сторено от тях което нашата държава 'за съжаление' е изпуснала
is working in spain and italy pays well? unemployment there is highest among the eu and ppl are going to the uk to work
I am 20 years old currently . My girlfriend is from Serbia . We are planning to save up and start a buisness back in my home country and in hers . Only way we can help the countries economy so far . Hope many young lions come back and start putting in a investment
I am Bulgarian and me and my wife will live in Sweden. The problem is that people that are going back always come back to Sofia, Plovdiv or Varna. Other cities are going down. The problem is not people that is going away from the country, but that there is much corruption and normal people don't have a chance. I hope the new government will change something and that we will have a new government.
Bulshit
That's true !!!!
@@teodorageorgi1138 it is not! You are just a looser looking for an excuse.
Nothing will change. They can't even form a government.
@@ginismoja2459 Yes, but this is also good. I am happy that Bojko can NOT make a government and I am ok to vote as song as Bojko and the communists are not ruling my country.
Bulgaria is best country .much better than germany and france or usa
I was slightly amused at first, but then the host said "local animation industry" and I burst out laughing.
Filmed in March. Bulgarians know why.
FUTURE OF BULGARIA ARE IN HANDS OF THE YOUTH!
Why they left in the first place? This country looks beautiful.
No good job , salary
mafia state
Yep but it's getting better and many people returning!
more money and jobs in western europe duh
Corruption beyond any other reason. Lack of justice. You know that tomorrow, if you make it big, someone can just steal your business or blackmail you.
Europe's poorest state only on paper and old statistics.... things have changed dramatically
Точно така!
Croatia and other countries are even worse.
Sadly there are many people who don't want us back.
Why lol
wake up bulgaria !
Could you do an update on Bulggaria now that our world Today is very different from one year past.
A 25% decline in population by 2050 is not good, we need to increase immigration and increase child support payments.
Living in Bulgaria is a brutal daily uphill battle if you like order or are trying to create some order and prosperity in your life. Living abroad is no walk in the park either, but you don't have to face half of the BS that you do back home.. I've practiced my profession (building eng and architecture) in both western Europe and back home in Bulgaria and would routinely have to argue with "experts" in Bulgaria just because "this is how we have always done things here". Quality or doing anything "the right way" is nobody's concern. Everyone is trying to make a quick buck and screw someone else over in the process. As for corruption and nepotism .. It's omnipresent. Not that it doesn't exist in western Europe- oh, it's there! But it's not starting at the bottom level and it's not as obvious.
Bulgaria has a lot of beautiful potential, but young people can't live on potential and hope for a better future alone, they need to be able to create real change for the better and have at least the feeling of agency in their lives. This is however a different can of worms in itself...
Sofia is not Bulgaria. What you see in this video is the promised land of the capital city. And people from the capital don't want to see the gruesome reality: everything between Sofia and the coast is turning into a desert. And a couple of young people coming back to live in the city won't change much.
And since I've already made this post this long I'll let you know what the real problem is here(in my humble opinion and experience). One word. "Communism". The constant glorification of communism in the old generations is the biggest unspoken problem here. I've heard it all: Back in the day the communists sprayed the mosquitoes in summer/ would clean the beach/ would sweep the streets up to your doorstep early in the morning/ nobody would be without a home/everyone would get payed(the same) /would have food on the table.. Not saying it's a bad thing, but people have been stripped of their desire to actively change and contribute to their environment! Someone always did it for them. All they had to do is file a report to the manicipalty or police.. And this stuff is the pure poison. The only "solution" I see here is for these generations to perish and MAYBE, just maybe, the generations after that would be able to undo some of the damage and create a more prosperous society than the one we currently have. If that is the hill you want to die on, that's your own personal choice. I don't see any change happening in my lifetime.
@Ziezi The First And you are one of the countless clueless idiots that ventured on TH-cam. Truth hurts.
Part true, part false. It all comes down to how do you want to live- the ups and downs of home and abroad. And I'm glad that more and more of my friends are coming back, and not all to Sofia. But thanks for your honest opinion and wish you best in life.
This is a total lie. I was in Sofia and also in some small towns and they all lived quite well. While in the West they work as slaves in an increasingly worse capitalist system.
Too much of bs talk less is more an attitude of positivity and courage -which essentially is faith with action will be enough ok now some rather advanced old school quote All things be ready if you mind is So ok wish u all the best 👍 homies
all planet is a our home
Good clip. Here are my 5 cents. Think of the World as a game called Diablo 2... Those of you who aren`t familiar with it`s mechanics I'd give a short tl.dr. to get you up to speed. So it`s a role playing game where you progress your character trough story line via quests... They lead you trough 5 Major City hubs with their surrounding areas where you gain your experience for character development and obtain valuable items for even further improving it`s prowess. Now... why did I type all of this (it will require a bit more game mechanics to further explain but we will get there) Imagine that Entire Countries are Diablo 2 Cities... (not for example towns within Bulgaria itself... like Burgas first city, Varna 2nd, Plovdiv 3rd and Sofia 4th, we get to have no 5th one like Diablo 2 got in it`s first, last and only expansion :P) Bulgaria is the First City... where your character get to spawn within the game and accumulate it`s first powers ... Next up we have France 2nd city, Germany 3rd City, UK, 4th City, USA 5th City... The point of this being is (here comes the 2nd portion of Diablo 2 progress mechanics) Every City scales as it`s difficulty of areas as it`s >rewards< ... more experience, higher quality items, etc. Once you move to the next city, the previous one becomes sort of mechanically meaningless because it`s progress cap of your character (you) will never be the same there.
My entire point is it`s kind of the same with all those returning Immigrants is kind of the same. They failed one reason or to keep up with wherever they once managed to reach to and now they are coming back to environment where no matter how much "gameplay" (life) they perform their growth in level (accumulation of experience) and quality of items will never be equal to those making their gains in cities of higher tier. Kind of Sad but it is as it is. I mean I theoretically do not have goose fluff for brain, I do know Bulgaria will never be adequate western European country equivalent and expecting miracles is unrealistic... I am just saying. (And btw this is the one text where I invested the effort to google all the underlined words in the text, otherwise my spelling is horrible)(The only word this text disapprove of is Burgas :P)
Lay off the weed and the other stuff my guy.
@@kristiant96 After my second arest for minor and/or trivial drug related stuffs around 5 years ago I had to forcefully stop interactions with MJ because my "3rd strike" would have been a guaranteed red carpet to jail. :( Please american re imigrants, bring the legalization with you.
So what youre saying is, these returning bulgarians are returning because they failed to make it into the western parts and are thus much more valued in bulgaria, just because they got some experience in the west? If so, I agree. But returning or not, unless the corruption is removed we arent going anywhere else except in deeper, bigger probelms.

Most Bulgarians don't know that the markets are not fair, they are owned by specific groups like world bank and IMF, that is why America only embargoes other nations. Bulgaria well depended on SIV markets of former Soviet Bloch but now distinct
Thats old info.The big drama is that Bulgaria dont depend to any markets at all, but try to become "capitalistic " country without any place for sell!
@@MladenVass ok capitalists play in groups, which group do you belong to
@@AliHassan-hb1bn I dont know in whats groups they play ,but in order to be capitalist one of the things is to sell products and services.Bulgaria dont belong today to the eastern or western market.Basically to any market at all!
@@MladenVass life very much depended on markets that is why they embargo people, you must have a fair share of global markets otherwise your skilled people will immigrate and your country will disappear as a result. I used to live in Bulgaria 11 years but when every thing changed all in a sudden I didn't like to stay there. It was dog eat dog when I left Bulgaria. Remember if you know SIC, MIC, VIS etc

Bulgarians are coming back because of the improvements since 10 years apart. Regions are finally getting the infrastructure, jobs variety and new investments. But the last ones might shrink because of the new parliament which is gonna get Bulgaria into even worse crisis... May God bless Bulgaria!

@@dimosereqko2 he had too much Ozo
I think we starting to experience more and more Greeks coming to our country, and lots of business is exchanged between GR and BG, especially in the Southern regions of Bulgaria. More Greeks pensioners and people are coming here because it's slightly easier to live here than it is in Greece nowadays. The climate also is better here and the country is absolutely beautiful. We as a nation have to accept and learn how to live with all other nationals who started to settle down in Bulgaria. So many people are coming to live here, we can't stop that process. After all, it's a fertile soil country that has so much to offer.We will accept Greek people. You are our neighbours after all.❤
LOL Bulgarians love Greeks. As a Bulgarian I saw sooo many Greeks discriminating Bulgarians.
Only Bulgarians interviewed.Kaladjha and Tsigani go to work abroad but they are not interviewed although they work very hard to send money home to their families.
