Bulgaria will press for a greater share for its export goods on the Russian market during the upcoming visit of PM Vladimir Putin, stated Bulgarian PM Boyko Borisov.

During the visit scheduled November 13, the two leaders will discuss not only major energy projects like the South Stream natural gas pipeline and Belene NPP, but also the opportunities to expand trade.

"Russia is a natural marked for Bulgaria. Why have we forgotten that?" asked rhetorically the Bulgarian PM.

He explained that in the past Bulgaria has exported massive amounts of wine, foods and other goods from the light industries to Russia and it is high time for it to reclaim that.

"This is pure business and pure economics - fresh money for our country," quipped Borisov.

In an interview given earlier Tuesday for ITAR-TASS, the Bulgarian PM had reconfirmed his commitment to Belene and South Stream, but not to the Burgas-Alexandroupoli oil pipeline.
