The Bulgarian Prime Minister has paid a visit to Ukraine at the invitation of President Petro Poroshenko. Borissov told his host that Ukraine occupied an important place in Bulgaria's foreign policy priorities and that the two countries enjoyed friendly relations based on the historical, cultural, linguistic and religious proximity of their peoples.
