2017-05-30 17:44:00Bulgaria and Croatia together play a decisive role for promoting the Balkans’ European prospects, peace and economic prosperity.

Rumen Radev and Davor Ivo Stier highly appreciated the partnership between Bulgaria and Croatia in formulating common positions within the EU and in the spheres of tourism and security. The two voiced their stance to strengthen the bilateral cooperation in improving the infrastructure and energy connectivity in the Balkans, and also in promoting the trade between the two countries.
“Thanks to their excellent relations, Bulgaria and Croatia work actively to ensure that the Western Balkan countries’ road to European integration is open and their democratic development is a major priority,” Davor Ivo Stier said at the meeting and wished our country success during its presidency of the Council of the EU in the first half of 2018.
