''I had a serious conversation with Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic about the Bulgarian minority. For me, as president, this issue is of key importance'', Bulgaria’s Head of State Rumen Radev said, BTA reported.

‘'We need to work together. This is the key to our economic success and Serbia's successful integration. I can say that misunderstandings like "arrested books" will not contribute to Serbia's European path’’, Rumen Radev said and added that he had received an assurance from President Vucic that this issue would be resolved.

‘'Bulgaria will continue working to improve the conditions of the Bulgarian minority in Serbia, improve the conditions for these people to have a livelihood in their homeland, have the freedom to express themselves as Bulgarians, preserve their national identity, spirituality, language and culture'’, President Radev said.
