Bulgaria: Bulgarian MPs meet US Congressman on Visa Wave Issue

A delegation from Bulgaria, comprising Ambassador Georgi Panayotov and Members of Parliament Yordan Terziyski, Denitsa Simeonova, Atanas Zafirov, Dragomir Stoynev, and Georg Georgiev, engaged in a productive meeting with US Congressman Brad Schneider. Schneider, a Democrat representing Illinois, a state with a significant Bulgarian community, is a sponsor of a resolution commemorating 120 years of diplomatic ties between Bulgaria and the USA.

The meeting addressed various aspects of bilateral relations, with particular emphasis on Bulgaria's long-standing appeal for the abolition of visas for its citizens traveling to the United States. Terziyski and Simeonova passionately presented the case for visa-free travel, citing the positive impact it would have on people-to-people connections and diplomatic cooperation.

Congressman Schneider acknowledged  the positive development in fostering closer ties between the two nations. Earlier in the day, Terziyski and Simeonova also engaged with officials at the US State Department, reinforcing Bulgaria's commitment to strengthening diplomatic bonds.
