2022-09-08 17:32:00President Rumen Radev and his Romanian opposite number Klaus Iohannis discussed over the phone the energy, transport and economic connectivity in the region, as well as the prospects of Bulgaria and Romania joining Schengen.

Radev and Iohannis also discussed the prospects for Bulgaria and Romania's likely forthcoming accession to the Schengen area, which will contribute to strengthening security in Southeast Europe and within the EU.
