“Bulgaria's road to Europe passes via Yugoslavia. Yugoslavia's stability is the key to regional stability and we will support the stabilization of our western neighbour," Bulgarian Foreign Minister Solomon Passy said after meeting his Yugoslav counterpart Goran Svilanovic. Passy is at his first official visit to Yugoslavia since he became Bulgarian foreign minister. Both Svilanovic and Passy promised to do everything possible so that the Nis-Sofia highway is designed faster and the financing for the project is provided. An agreement on cooperation in communications was signed. Bulgaria received Yugoslavia's official consent to open a consulate general in the Montenegrin capital Podgorica. An agreement on multimodal transport of goods will be signed in Sofia next week.
