The Covid-19 crisis is unprecedented and showed that we need close cooperation and multilateralism more than ever, Bulgaria’s Minister of Foreign Affairs Ekaterina Zaharieva said at the video conference meeting with her counterparts from the South-East Europe Cooperation Process. The European Union supported the Western Balkan countries with EUR 3.3 billion during the crisis, Minister Zaharieva underlined. Bulgaria sent medical equipment to its neighbors, to the countries from the Eastern Partnership and the Southern Neighborhood. In such moments you understand who is your friend and who you can really count on, Ekaterina Zaharieva said further. We are working to organize this autumn a summit in Sofia in the format of the Berlin Process, Bulgaria’s Foreign Minister announced.
