We examined both the excellent bilateral relations between Italy and Bulgaria, and the commitment we are expecting at European level in the coming months. The starting point is represented not only by long-standing ties, but also by positive current relations'', said Italy's premier Paolo Gentiloni at the end of the meeting, held at Palazzo Chigi, with Bulgarian Prime Minister Boyko Borissov. ''We are proud to have a trade which is close to 5bn between Italy and Bulgaria, which is well balanced between the two countries, and this is always a good sign. On this basis, we may also increase investment: Bulgaria is really stable, its economy is growing and the whole country is preparing for the future''.
