Job offer to a Belgian person

Hello people,

I'm Belgian and currently work in Belgium as a logistics coordinator.

After some discussions, I received an offer for a similar position in Sofia, Bulgaria and was wondering how it compares to local job offers. If I directly compare it to my current job, it seems like a stepdown, but I don't actually know the local job market and the average salary for a comfortable lifestyle.

May I have some insights from locals, or folks that made a similar relocation ? Will I be able to buy a property or will I not have choice but to rent ?

Is being fluent in French, English and Dutch enough or will I have to quickly learn Bulgarian ?

Here's the offer :

We offer:

-Relocation Bonus: €1,500 Gross (paid in 2 instalments) - to support relocation and initial rent costs

-21 Days of Company-Provided Accommodation on arrival, and assistance in finding a long-term home

-The gross monthly wage will be €1485 (approximately €1153 net)

-Monthly performance bonus - €80 gross

-Welcome bonus 1500 EUR gross

● €750 gross after completion of three months with the company

● €750 gross after completion of six months with the company

-Fully paid training

-Stable job and career development opportunities

Sorry if the formatting gets messed up, I'm writing on my phone.

EDIT : thank you all for your answers, as I thought this is quite a terrible offer and would be a huge stepdown from my current job.
