President Rumen Radev will participate in the Meeting of the Heads of State and Government of the countries participating in the South-East European Cooperation Process.
After the plenary session of the forum, the Bulgarian head of state will symbolically accept the rotating chairmanship of the Process from the President of Albania, Bajram Begaj.
Bulgaria will take over the leadership from July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2026. The SEECP is a regional cooperation forum initiated at the Sofia Meeting of the Ministers of Foreign Affairs of the countries of South-East Europe on 6-7 July 1996, when the Sofia Declaration on Good Neighborly Relations and Cooperation in the Balkans was adopted.
Earlier last week, the Speaker of the National Assembly, Natalia Kiselova, accepted the chairmanship of the Parliamentary Assembly of the South-East European Cooperation Process on behalf of the Bulgarian Parliament.
