Bulgaria PM Boyko Borisov has stated that Bulgaria will fully support Montenegro’s integration into the EU at a meeting in Sofia with the President of Montenegro, Filip Vujanovic.
Borisov and Vujanovic agreed to deepen their bilateral cooperation in the field of Montenegro’s integration into European and Euro-Atlantic structures, economy, transport, tourism and combating organized crime in the region.
Borisov also expressed the readiness of the Bulgarian side to work towards the opening of a regular air service to Montenegro’s capital, Podgorica, which he said would enormously facilitate business contacts between the two countries and will encourage more Bulgarian citizens to visit Montenegro.
Borisov concluded that “true integration of the peoples of the Balkans will come with EU membership.” Vujanovic shared the view of his Bulgarian hosts on the need to strengthen bilateral contacts at all levels.
On the second day of his state visit to Bulgaria on Friday, Vujanovic and his wife Svetlana will visit Bulgaria’s second largest city, Plovdiv.
