Bulgaria’s former Prime Minister Boyko Borisov has told reporters that no one invited him to the upcoming opening ceremony of the second Danube Bridge linking Bulgaria and Romania.
“They have planned to invite people who have nothing to do with Danube Bridge 2 in order to open it. I have flown to it at least 10-15 times, inspecting it, so that it would become what it is now in 3 years,” Borisov complained.
Borisov was known for frequently attending ribbon-cutting ceremonies during his term in office (2009-2013).
Bulgarian Prime Minister Plamen Oresharski and his Romanian counterpart Victor Ponta will be among the officials present at the launching ceremony of the second bridge over the river Danube between Bulgaria and Romania on Friday, June 14.
Bulgarian President Rosen Plevneliev, Transport Minister Danail Papazov, Parliament Chair Mihail Mikov, as well as Romanian Cabinet members and European Commissioner for Regional Policy Johannes Hahn will also take part in the ceremony.
Danube Bridge 2 linking Vidin in Bulgaria and Calafat in Romania is part of the Pan-European transport corridor IV.
The project was started in the late 1990s, but was stalled multiple times.
The only other existing bridge between the two Balkan neighbors, Danube Bridge 1 linking Ruse-Giurgiu, was completed in 1954.
