Bulgarian Prime Minister Plamen Oresharski will attempt to convince Romania that a third Danube bridge should be built between the two countries, according to his deputy.

“The decision to build a bridge between Silistra and Calarasi should be taken on an inter-governmental level. It is equally important for our government as the other Danube bridges,” Bulgarian Deputy PM Daniela Bobeva.

Bobeva also revealed that the ferry line between Bulgaria’s Silistra and Romania’s Calarasi is set to renew its functioning. The ferry line has been out of service since last year due to misunderstandings between the concessionaires on both sides of the Danube.

The second Danube bridge between the two Balkan countries, linking Bulgaria's Vidin and Romania's Calafat, was inaugurated in June 2013.

The first bridge between the two countries, connecting Bulgaria’s Ruse and Romania’s Giurgiu, was built in 1954.

Oresharski is to visit Romania in two weeks’ time.
