European Commissioners Kristalina Georgieva and Johannes Hahn are holding a meeting with Bulgarian President Rosen Plevneliev just hours after his inauguration Sunday.

The EU Humanitarian Aid Commissioner and Regional Policy Commissioner presented Plevneliev a copy of a picture held in the EC's archive showing the signing of the Treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel Community (the predecessor to the EU).

A press conference is scheduled after the end of the meeting between the new Bulgarian President and the Bulgarian and Austrian representatives in the second Jose Manuel Barroso commission.

This is Rosen Plevneliev's first official meeting since entering into his first 5-year term as Bulgaria's President this Sunday.

The inauguration ceremony included speeches by predecessor Georgi Parvanov, as well as by Plevneliev himself, and a transferral of power at the Presidency building in Sofia.
