Bulgaria's President Rumen Radev and President of the Chamber of Deputies in Romania, Liviu Dragnea, agreed at a meeting in Bucharest that the two countries would work to create a Charter with common measures and projects for the development of the Danube region.

In a discussion between President Radev and President of the Romanian Senate Călin Constantin Anton Popescu-Tăriceanu, it was pointed out that the upcoming EU presidencies of Bulgaria and Romania in 2018 and 2019 would allow both countries to define and follow common priorities.

The two sides pointed out that a particularly important joint mission for Bulgaria and Romania was to promote stability and security in Southeast Europe and to support the European perspective for the Western Balkan countries.
