dont you mean since they avoided repaying the debts imposed on them
anyway what has Bulgaria contributed to europe ?
After World War II, according to the Potsdam conference held between July 17 and August 2, 1945, Germany was to pay the Allies
US$23 billion mainly in machinery and manufacturing plants. Reparations to the Soviet Union stopped in 1953. In addition, in accordance with the agreed-upon policy of de-industrialisation and pastoralization of Germany, large numbers of civilian factories were dismantled for transport to France and the UK, or simply destroyed.
So that's nothing for you?! -_- No doubt you guys are so ignorant and always rely on things from a subjective and incorrect view rather then see the truth.

london alone contributes more to europe than most countries, not to mention the bail outs of spain and greece
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) made a 27 per cent contribution to the bailout loan to Greece and a third of the total cost of loans for Portugal and Ireland.
As a member of the IMF, the UK has historically contributed 4.5 per cent to any IMF funding.
So that would mean that if Spain gets an £80billion bailout, the UK might be liable to indirectly contribute around £1billion.
While Angela Merkel, said she has not pressured Spain into asking for a bailout,
David Cameron has promised that UK money will not be used to prop up European banks.
As for Greece definately UK ain't paying that much as you're trying to make us to believe.
Of the 110-billion Euro Greece bailout, 30-billion (approx $40 billion) will be paid for by the IMF.
The US supplies almost 20% of the IMF's funding (per quotas). So that means US taxpayers are providing ~$8 billion of the $145 billion going to kick the Greek can down the road.
