ABSTRACT
The article elaborates the concept that Bulgaria’s 2007 EU accession didn’t itself produce
large emigration waves, but rather brought new understanding and value to Bulgarian
citizenship, through intensified mobility and return processes, within the context of the
economic crisis. The text is structured in two parts: the first one reveals the Bulgarian
emigration phenomenon after 1989 and its specifics, and the second one — the core of
the article — is devoted to the return dynamics and policy answers with focus on the
highly qualified. Thus the analysis answers the research question of whether the state
affects the processes of remigration of highly qualified Bulgarian young people through
its return policies and instruments.
