Bulgaria’s Prime Minister Nikolay Denkov will meet with the prime ministers of Greece Kyriakos Mitsotakis and of Romania Ion-Marcel Ciolacuo on 9 October this year at Evksinograd residence near Varna in Bulgaria.

Invitations have also been extended to the President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen and to the President of Moldova Maia Sandu. The meeting was agreed on during yesterday’s one-day visit by PM Denkov to Athens where he attended the meeting dedicated to the future of the Western Balkan countries.

The meeting in October will focus on regional connectivity, and more specifically the project for a corridor from Thessaloniki, via Kavala, Alexandroupolis, Burgas and Varna to Constanța, with a possible extension to Moldova. The idea is to build a modern transport, communications and energy infrastructure along this route that will energize the economic and political ties between the countries included in it.
