There is no possibility whatsoever of the UK introducing visas for Bulgarians, Bulgarian Foreign Minister Nikolay Mladenov declared on Monday.
Mladenov has reminded that all labor restrictions for Bulgarian citizens in the EU will be lifted in 2014.
In an interview with The Sunday Times, UK Home Secretary Theresa May stated that the EU's freedom of movement directive, which guarantees the right of its 500 million citizens to travel freely within the EU, should be reviewed.
However, Mladenov has described her statement as "election campaigning."
In an interview for the Btv channel, Mladenov also refuted recent rumors that his late father was a spy for the communist regime's secret service, saying the rumors were "communist propaganda."
