Bulgaria's Cyrillic "evro" wins approval
Oct 18, 2007 10:51 AM Category: Europe
According
to an October 18, 2007 Reuters
report,
“Bulgaria won the right to spell the euro common
currency as ‘evro’ in its Cyrillic language…The EU
newcomer has fought hard for the right to spell
the euro according to Cyrillic rules despite the
European Central Bank’s insistence that the euro
be spelled the same way across the 27-nation bloc.
The Black Sea country argued that ‘evro’ is the
correct transliteration of ‘euro’ into
Cyrillic…The question of whether Bulgaria will be
able to use ‘evro’ on banknotes if it enters the
single currency zone—something that is not
expected until well after 2010—remains open.”
