The cabinets of Bulgaria and Romania discussed topics of mutual interest in the economy and infrastructure fields during today’s intergovernmental sitting held in the coastal city of Varna. Bulgaria’s Premier Boyko Borissov forecasted that traffic between the two countries will intensify through the construction of new bridges over the Danube, new ferryboat lines, border checkpoints and through better conditions for navigation along the Danube.
