Bulgaria will host the next meeting of the Arraiolos group, decided the presidents of the EU member states who are taking part. It was announced on the second day of the Eleventh meeting of the group which is being held in the German city of Erfurt.
In 2016 the Presidents of Germany, Austria, Poland, Hungary, Slovenia, Latvia, Estonia, Portugal, Finland, Italy and Malta will hold its meeting in Bulgaria.

The format was established in 2003 in Portugal, and the forthcoming hosting is an acknowledgement of the role of Bulgaria in the Arraiolos group.
