The partnership between the Bulgarian government and the European Commission during the rotating presidency of our country was discussed at a meeting between Prime Minister Boyko Borissov and Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker. They stressed that trust and cooperation between cabinet members who will lead Council meetings and the commissioners are prerequisites for progress on the issues at hand.
The Prime Minister pointed out that for its 10-year membership in the EU, our country has gained experience in resolving the various crises that the Union has undergone, and will continue to be active in the discussions on its future. “Our responsibility over the next six months is great, but we remain a reliable partner in seeking consensus on the most important topics for the Community. It is very important for us to strengthen the unity of the European Union,” the Bulgarian Prime Minister highlighted.
The Prime Minister and the EC President expressed their expectations for improving the dialogue with the EU neighboring countries during the Bulgarian Presidency. “Your priority, Boyko - the Western Balkans, is also our priority,” said Jean-Claude Juncker.
