"I will encourage Bulgaria on its path to pursuing reforms to ensure the rule of law and the fight against corruption," said German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier at a meeting held in Sofia with his Bulgarian counterpart Rumen Radev.
He stressed that Bulgaria is a stabilizing factor of cooperation within the EU. According to him, Germany is interested in strengthening political, cultural and economic relations between the two countries. Germany supports the construction of a factory that will produce Volkswagen brand cars in Bulgaria, the German President said."The successful Bulgarian-German economic partnership is one more reason to believe that Bulgaria is ready and deserves to have a strategic investor with a closed production cycle, President Radev said.

Boyko Borisov stressed that this country is successfully fulfilling its commitments regarding the protection of the EU's external border. He showed that a viable European mechanism was needed to answer questions about migration.
