“Work together, manufacture together, invest from Bulgaria to Serbia and vice versa. As Presidents, we can only encourage you“, stated the Bulgarian Head of State, Mr. Rosen Plevneliev. He underlined that Bulgaria will support the European development of Serbia.

The Presidents Rosen Plevneliev and Tomislav Nikolic pointed out that the potential for the bilateral cooperation in economy is huge, and it is of mutual interest to benefit from it. 

“Due to this particular potential the Bulgarian Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the Serbian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, as well as the newly established Bulgarian-Serbian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, will actively work for its realization”, stated the President of BCCI, Mr. Tsvetan Simeonov.
