Unfortunately in much of Eastern Europe you can't purchase a SIM card without showing an ID, for sure you need to show an ID here in Romania. They've changed that relatively recently, I'd say during or just after the pandemic. I don't know about how things stand in neighbouring Bulgaria. In fact, a quick web-search confirmed that Bulgaria also has the same policy.
