It’s very important to create an environment in the political field. I can say for sure that yesterday I was more determined in my feeling that the relations between our peoples are really very warm. I especially want to mention the school after Peyo Yavorov where we received quite a warm reception. I am very happy that the business environment will further intensify its activity. We will also have two memorandums which will be a great impetus for development of cooperation. I have great hopes over the upcoming business forum to be held in Burgas in June”, the President of Bulgaria said.
