A new Bulgarian-US consultancy has been established to promote Bulgaria's opportunities for investments and assist Bulgarian companies interested in doing business with USA.

Miller & Behar Strategies is the first consultancy established for the purpose of encouraging business between Bulgaria and USA.

Bob Miller, Nevada Governor (1989-1999) and Bulgarian PR expert Maxim Behar, CEO of M3 Communications Group, Inc. (www.m3bg.com) have done business together for a long time, primarily by organizing conferences and business meetings. Among them the International Conferences on Tourism "Bulgaria Dream Area" (www.bulgariantourism.com) gained most in popularity.

Establishing this company is another dream come true for me -- helping U.S. companies discover Bulgaria, and with my partner, Mr. Behar, giving the opportunity to many Bulgarian companies to enter the North American markets, said Bob Miller, a long time friend of Bulgaria.

He expressed confidence that the need for such a company exists, adding that assistance will be offered to Americans and Bulgarians alike.

The Bulgarian market is in strong need of high quality consulting services and I think that the new company has been established by people who are well acquainted with the markets in Bulgaria and the USA, Maxim Behar said.

He pointed out that the consultancy's services would not be limited to these two markets but would use the partners' strong positions in other, primarily European, countries.

The consultancy would also like to be a high quality consultant of the Bulgarian state administration when it enters challenging markets or seeks advice on privatisation or investment projects.
