Caretaker Minister of Transport and Communications Krasimira Stoyanova met in Sofia with the Ambassador of Ukraine to Bulgaria, Olesya Ilashchuk. The two discussed ensuring the smooth movement of Ukrainian cargo to the EU via the Solidarity Corridors in Bulgaria and the use of freight transport permits. Minister Stoyanova explained that the permits for 2025 have already been provided to the Ukrainian side and the unused permits for 2024 are valid until the end of January 2025.

"Ukraine is an important partner for Bulgaria in cooperation in the Black Sea region", said Minister Stoyanova. She noted that the Bulgarian institutions are working to facilitate freight transport from Ukraine and find the fastest logistical routes through the country's railway, port, road and river networks to support the normal functioning of supply chains to and from Ukraine.
