"negative comments without the facts are pretty useless"

In this case the negative comments are hard cold facts.
To suggest that the lev could be pegged forever from now to the euro is completely incorrect and somewhat disingenuous. I don't think Ireland or any of the other countries with members on the ECB will be bailing out Bulgaria UNTIL THEY JOIN FULLY.
Personally I will be singing in the bath like Norman Lamont if there is a serious run on the lev.
Bulgaria may be "up and coming" but it has had serious problems with corruption, pollution etc. and can not in one fell swoop turn from Todor Zhivkov's ex-Stalinist basket case into a steady, prosperous market economy.
If the other advise on Bulgaria is of a similar ilk to the lev pegging one then it is definitely a case of caveat emptor for any prospective client.
If I was looking to buy in somewhere like Bulgaria I would be getting my advise from impartial sources. I would be reading up on the country and I would be asking myself searching, self-critical questions about why I was investing so far from home in a country that very few people know much about, except a few people who already have a vested interest in painting an overly rosy picture.
For anyone interested the following looks like a good general source on Bulgaria:
