Bulgarian: ципани [tsiɡɐni] , Roma [rɔmi] ) in Bulgaria represent the densest Roma minority in Europe. The Roma people in Bulgaria "speak Bulgarian, Turkish or Roma, depending on the region and their religious affiliation". 

According to the last census in 2011, the number of Roma is 825,343, which represents 4.4% of the total population, of which only one ethnic group can be chosen as an answer, and 10% of the total population did not answer the question about ethnic group. In a final census report sent to Eurostat , the authors of the census ( National Statistical Institute of Bulgaria ) described the results of the census of ethnicity as "gross manipulation". The former head of the National Statistical Institute of Bulgaria , Reneta Indjovaclaims to have been fired by the Bulgarian Prime Minister in 2014 for trying to verify the actual number of Roma, and it goes without saying that neither the census counted the Roma nor did his statistics provide "real data". 

The calculations of the Energy Regulatory Commission are that if the new system of block tariffs was not introduced, the price of electricity would have increased by more than 17 percent.

Electricity on Friday increased by an average of 7.4% for the three block tariffs. For the fourth block in which the largest consumers are, there will be the largest increase in the price of electricity, which will range from 11.4% to almost 100 percent for those who consume enormous electricity. This means that the average price of electricity for 98.8 percent of households will increase by 7.4 percent. "The calculations of the Energy Regulatory Commission are that if the new system of block tariffs was not introduced, electricity would have risen by 17.74%," said the head of the regulatory body, Marko Bislimoski.

Today, the Energy Regulatory Commission held a preparatory session, after which it officially announced how much the electricity will be more expensive from July 1, depending on the offered tariffs of EVN Home, AD ESM, AD MEPSO, MEMO and Elektrodistribucija.
