The delegation of the Romanian Senate's Foreign Policy Committee was headed by Christian-Sorin Dumitresku, and the delegation of the Chamber of Deputies by Andre Kozma, while Demo Grozdanov headed the delegation of the Foreign Policy Committee of the Bulgarian Parliament.
In a friendly and open conversation, the interlocutors expressed satisfaction with good relations and meaningful dialogue among the three countries in a number of areas, with developed contacts and continuous exchange of visits at the high and top level.
Cooperation in the trilateral and quadrilateral format, and especially parliamentary cooperation, was jointly assessed as a significant upgrade of the existing good relations, as well as the contribution to the strengthening of the joint voice of the region.
During the meeting, Dacic thanked for support to Serbia in the process of European integration which the Bulgarian and Romanian sides offered this time again, reaffirming that the Western Balkans will be high on the list of priorities for the presidency of both countries of the EU Council in the first half of 2018 and 2019 respectively.
The First Deputy Prime Minister reiterated the position that all potentially open issues between the three countries should be addressed in bilateral dialogue and in the spirit of good neighbourly relations.
Representatives of the foreign policy committees of Romania and Bulgaria expressed their gratitude for the organisation of the meeting as well as the intention to continue the concrete work on strengthening the trilateral/quadrilateral dimension of inter-parliamentary cooperation, as a significant forum for exchanging opinions on all topics of common interest.
