Bulgaria’s President, Georgi Parvanov, has congratulated the Presidents of Serbia and Montenegro on the occasion of the abolition on Saturday of the EU visa regime for citizens of Serbia and Montenegro.

The Bulgarian President sent telegrams to President Boris Tadic of Serbia and to Filip Vujanovic, Montenegro’s President, according to the Presidential press center.

In both telegrams, President Parvanov congratulated the peoples of both countries on this historic day, when the borders of European countries reopened for them, and emphasized that this was a crucial step in the process of integration of the Serbian and Montenegrin citizens to the European Union.

Parvanov also expressed his joy at the fact that the temporary barriers that were hampering human contacts between citizens of Bulgaria and Serbia and Montenegro had been removed.

The president declared that the cancellation of the visa regime would boost economic cooperation, cultural exchanges and tourism, and would create favorable conditions for further expansion of relations between Bulgaria, Serbia and Montenegro.

The Bulgarian President wished Boris Tadic and Filip Vujanovic renewed success on the road to full integration of the Republic of Serbia and the Republic of Montenegro into the European Union.

Georgi Parvanov also met in person on Saturday the President of Macedonia, Gjorge Ivanov, at the Bulgaria-Macedonia border crossing-point of Gueshevo.
