More bridges over the Danube are not just a bilateral issue between Bulgaria and Romania – they are a strategic priority for the prosperity of the entire EU and for our collective security within NATO.

This was emphasized by Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Transport Grozdan Karadzhov during a meeting with the coordinator of the Rhine-Danube transport corridor Margarita Marquez and with Mario Mauro – coordinator of the Baltic Sea-Black Sea-Aegean transport corridor.

The two representatives of the European Commission are visiting Bulgaria to finalize the Memorandum of Understanding between Bulgaria, Greece and Romania, which is expected to be signed by the end of the year.

“The faster construction of the third bridge over the Danube and the conclusion of agreements for two more – Silistra-Kalaraş and Nikopol-Turnu Magurele – are key Bulgarian priorities,” Karadjov said.
