Prime Minister Boyko Borissov has promised Bulgaria’s support for the EU-Canada Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) on condition that Canadian visas for Bulgarian nationals are abolished.
The Bulgarian prime minister made his comments in Maastricht, Holland where he arrived to take part in the meeting of European People’s Party heads of state and government. The forum precedes the European Council meeting, which opens in Brussels later in the day.
