National Assembly Speaker Talks to Bulgarian Foreign Minister
National Assembly Speaker Maja Gojkovic met today with the Bulgarian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Kristian Vigenin and the two officials agreed that the two countries enjoy good relations with ample room for improvement.
“The relations between our two countries are consistently good, but there is always room to further their and their respective parliaments’ successful cooperation”, stressed Gojkovic.
The National Assembly Speaker emphasised the importance of regional cooperation, saying that the natural disasters suffered first by Serbia, and then by Bulgaria have demonstrated the importance of solidarity and cooperation.
Gojkovic said that Serbia was interested in continuing cooperation within the Danube Strategy and on joint projects, with the Conference of Danube Parliamentarians in Budapest offering an excellent opportunity to do so.
