He will confer with Foreign Minister Passy and Defense Minister Nikolay Svinarov. Robertson is expected to address the participants in the sixth annual lunch organized by The Atlantic Club of Bulgaria. At the end of his visit the guest will meet with the NATO states' ambassadors here. Robertson assessed highly Bulgaria’s preparation for NATO entry in an exclusive interview for the Bulgarian National Television. He said no decision has been taken yet on the future enlargement of the Alliance.
