Environment, transport and roads are the areas in which Europe will invest the most money in Bulgaria for operational programs. The least given will be on the program "Good Management."

During the next programming period (2014-2020) the operational programs will be seven. The new operational program will be “Science and Education for smart growth.” In the current period the money for education were passing through the operational program “Development of Human Resources”, managed by the Social Ministry.
