The fact that Volkswagen has chosen to negotiate with Turkey over the new plant of the company does not mean that negotiations for Bulgaria are over. Until a contract is signed, each of the countries can be chosen, said member of the Management Board of Automotive Cluster Bulgaria and President of Bulgarian in the period 2012-2017, Rosen Plevneliev. He added that work with Volkswagen and meetings of negotiating teams would continue in the coming months. Automotive Cluster Bulgaria has been working on many other projects together with the government, Plevnelev said at a press conference at the Council of Ministers and promised a completely new strategy for the development of the automotive industry in Bulgaria. The ambition is to double the number of employees in the sector - from 60,000 to 120,000. The goal is also the number of companies in the industry to rise from 230 to 500.
