It is very important to maintain good manners and not to cross boundaries beyond which it would make the conversation impossible outgoing Deputy Prime Minister Mariya Gabriel said with regard to the future negotiations between GERB and We Continue the Change - Democratic Bulgaria. Mariya Gabriel commented that as Foreign Minister, she worked extremely well with Interior Minister Kalin Stoyanov on Bulgaria’s accession to Schengen, and his work in this direction was also appreciated in the EU.
