[02] Newly-elected Bulgarian president says first visit abroad will be to Greece

"Relations between Greece and Bulgaria are not merely excellent. They are very special relations. Because for years Greeks and Bulgarians are cooperating and mingling as well ... They merely live together. And I would like to point out, that for me as the president and for all the relevant insitutions of Bulgaria, our relations with Greece are relations of strategic partners. My first visit in the framework of unified Europe was to Brussels, but my first visit to a country of the European Union will be to Athens in the near future. For us this is a clear signal and a symbolic message, that we are doing important things in our region together," the Bulgarian president stressed. www.amna.gr
