EU reform proposals submitted by Cameron and issues related to the migrant crisis will be on the agenda of both meetings. He is also to visit the Bulgarian-Turkish border as part of the EU's external border.
Cameron and Plevneliev are set to meet at 18:00 EET (local time) at the Presidency of Bulgaria's office in downtown Sofia. The two will later head to an innovation exhibition at the Sofia Tech Park.
