During the conversation, PM Borissov pointed out that Bulgaria was the only country that has coped with illegal migration and raises incomes every year. "We have 3.7% steady growth of gross domestic product, many German investors, fiscal reserve, foreign exchange reserve, and we are second after the USA in investments in the defense sector," he added. "I can say that the only one who always remains in his position as prime minister, no matter the changes in Europe, is Borissov, Zöder told the Bulgarian Prime Minister. The two heads of governments expressed satisfaction with the intense political contacts in recent years, as well as the dynamic ties in the fields of home affairs, security and tourism.
