The construction of the Bulgaria-Greece gas interconnector, which is entering its final stage, is a common objective, said Greece’s Premier Kyriakos Mitsotakis, who is paying an official visit to Sofia.

“The project is of strategic importance for Bulgaria and Greece and the two countries have already agreed to complete it as quickly as possible, Kyriakos Mitsotakis noted after the meeting.  

“The Recovery and Resilience Plan could also be viewed from a regional perspective", Bulgaria's Premier Kiril Petkov said in return.

"The Balkans will never be safe if all countries do not achieve a high vaccination rate", Kyriakos Mitsotakis said. In his words, in times of growing challenges, a just path of the Western Balkan countries towards the EU would be of mutual benefit.

"I believe that your talks with the new Bulgarian government will give a strong impetus to the development of our relations and the implementation of important bilateral projects relevant to the entire region," President Rumen Radev, who also met with the Greek Prime Minister, said. Mitsotakis said he was happy to be the first European prime minister to visit Bulgaria after the elections.
