The USA remains involved in the partnership process for Bulgaria's accession to the Program for visa-free travel, the Council of Ministers reports. This became clear during the meeting of Prime Minister Dimitar Glavchev with the Assistant Secretary for International Affairs of the US Department of Internal Security Adam Hunter. In the course of the conversation, the progress that Bulgaria has made on the subject, especially in recent weeks, was highlighted.
"Rules are meant to be followed. There are objective criteria that we are striving for and we will make every effort to fulfill," Prime Minister Glavchev said during the meeting, quoted by BNT. The Prime Minister pointed out that the Bulgarian Foreign Ministry is conducting a special information campaign because of the still high number of refusals. Prime Minister Glavchev also created a working group to speed up activities on the visa issue.
In the course of the meeting, Prime Minister Dimitar Glavchev also emphasized the strategic partnership between Bulgaria and the USA, as well as the priorities in the work of the official cabinet. Glavchev pointed to the observance of the Constitution and the laws, as well as the fight against corruption as clear red lines that the government follows unwaveringly. The prime minister also noted the elections held on October 27, which international observers from PACE found to be professionally organized.
