It is very important to maintain good manners and not to cross boundaries beyond which it would make the conversation impossible outgoing Deputy Prime Minister Mariya Gabriel said with regard to the future negotiations between GERB and We Continue the Change - Democratic Bulgaria. Mariya Gabriel commented that as Foreign Minister, she worked extremely well with Interior Minister Kalin Stoyanov on Bulgaria’s accession to Schengen, and his work in this direction was also appreciated in the EU. Kalin Stoyanov will remain in his post in Dimitar Glavchev’s caretaker cabinet.

Before taking part in the EU Meets the Balkans Forum, Mariya Gabriel expressed hope that her successor in the Foreign Ministry would continue the policy with key priorities such as the accession to Schengen by land, the accession to the Eurozone and the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development.
