On his part, PM Borissov added that during his talks with his Polish counterpart they had come to an agreement that the two countries must make efforts to avoid a two-speed Europe.

“Together with our colleagues from the Visegrad group we shall make efforts to make the Balkans a place where we all feel equal members of the EU,” Boyko Borissov said.

On the sidelines of the visit a bilateral business forum was held. At its opening Prime Minister Beata Szydlo pointed out that at the cost of a lot of efforts Bulgaria and Poland had achieved results thanks to which they could today serve as an example to countries with very good economic indices.
