Bulgarian Prime Minister Sergey Stanishev was affirmative on all institutions' commitment to work for achieving the accession to the EU next January.

Ambassadors of European Union countries to Sofia gathered at a work lunch with the Austrian Ambassador H.E. Karl Diem on Thursday.

The primary importance attached to the success of the judicial reform here was signified by the attendance also of Justice Minister Georgi Petkanov.

Emerging from the meeting the EU envoys expressed their satisfaction with the broad and open conversation they had with Bulgarian prime minister. Stanishev had accentuated on the progress made particularly in the EC red-flagged areas.

The foreign diplomats received a report on Bulgaria's achievements over the last few months.

Yet, Sergey Stanishev warned the ambassadors a decision to delay Bulgaria's entry with a year - until 2008 - would send off a very negative signal to all the region.

Bulgarian premier will take part in the spring session of the European Council in Brussels March 23-24, the Government's press service announced. The meeting will focus on the Lisbon Strategy for enhancing the economic growth and increasing jobs.
