I think this is a matter of perspective. I don't live in Bulgaria but my company has a pretty big lab in Sofia and I work with the engineers there constantly. They are excellent. I have had nothing but good experiences working with them. There are talented people around, and Sofia is pleasant and safe. The country itself is quite beautiful. Bulgaria is not free of problems (see the corruption perceptions index [1]) but it's also far from doomed.
