The EU has set up a special commission to monitor all funds going to Bulgaria and Romania. My tutor told me a joke about this.
“When we were occupied by the Roman Empire, we destroyed them with our faulty accounting.
When we were occupied by the Byzantine Empire, we destroyed them with our faulty accounting.
When were were occupied by the Ottoman Empire, we destroyed them with our faulty accounting.
When we were occupied by the Soviet Empire, we destroyed them with our faulty accounting.
Now the European Union has set up these commissions to monitor our accounting and we will surely destroy the EU!”
As reported by a Peace Corps Volunteer currently serving in the Republic of Bulgaria.
