EU Enlargement Commissioner Olli Rehn is coming to his final visit to Bulgaria before preparing the decisive report of the country's EU accession planed for Janaury 1, 2007.

He is scheduled to meet President Georgi Parvanov and Prime Minister Sergey Stanishev and to attend a session of the European Integration Council.

Talking to the EU Parliament's Foreign Affairs Committee at the beginning of April EU enlargement commissioner Olli Rehn said that Romania and Bulgaria's EU accession in 2007 is doable.

But in his presentation of both countries EU efforts, he made a clear distinction between the two, reserving his praise for Romania.

For the first time since the two Balkan countries were coupled in a package for the 2007 enlargement, Rehn said only one of the two countries might accede as planned.
