Greece and Bulgaria are “the guarantors of stability and progress in the Balkans”, the Charge d’Affaires of the Bulgarian Embassy in Athens Vesselin Ivanov told the Athens-Macedonian News Agency (ANA) in an interview published on Sunday. Ivanov, who has been serving as acting ambassador in Athens for the past year, also underlined that the accession of the Western Balkans to the European Union is not only a wager for the stability region but for Europe as a whole.
The EU prospects of the Western Balkans also ranked high in the list of priorities announced by the six-month Bulgarian presidency of the EU Council, as Ivanov stressed while speaking to the ANA about the Bulgarian presidency’s plans, ahead of the official presentation of Sofia’s programme at the European Parliament’s offices in Athens on Monday.
