The Director of the US Federal Bureau for Investigation, James Comey is paying a visit to Bulgaria in relation to cooperation in the sphere of security and the supremacy of the law. Criminals have made the world smaller through the Internet, and in this sense Bulgarian and the USA are like neighbors, said FBI Director James Comey after meeting Bulgarian Prime Minister Boyko Borissov. The two discussed the fight with organized crime, cyber crimes and terrorism, as well as the forthcoming meetings of the FBI head with representatives of the State Agency for National Security (SANS) and the Prosecution Office. James Comey pointed out that the FBI is working with Bulgaria on all aspects of significance for the USA as well. Good cooperation with the FBI is to continue, said on his part Premier Borissov.

This is the third visit of an FBI director in the last 14 years. In 2001 Sofia was visited By Lewis Free and in 2011 – by Robert Miller.
