In an interview with WSJ, Bulgaria’s prime minister said he had decided to shelve the plans as the European economy continued to deteriorate – circumstances which had dampened any public support.

Poland’s foreign minister meanwhile said that while his country had passed a referendum on euro membership, it wouldn’t rush into seeking membership until the currency’s broader problems had been sorted out.
"You can hardly blame us – that we don’t want to join as long as the Eurozone is in a serious crisis. We are willing to join, if you have solved your problems," he added.
