Bulgarian representatives will participate more actively in the meetings of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). The process of accession to OECD will remain among the main policy priorities of Bulgaria's caretaker cabinet in the coming months, Caretaker Minister of Foreign Affairs Nikolay Milkov said.
