The British business circles may have serious prospects for establishing partnerships with Bulgaria in the sectors of information and communication technologies and infrastructure and in the car industry. This is what became clear at the British-Bulgarian business forum which President Rosen Plevneliev opened in London and which is attended by about 60 representatives of the business circles in the two countries.

President Rosen Plevneliev held talks with Her Majesty Elizabeth II – Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. The audience took place in Buckingham Palace in London, where the Bulgarian Head of State was received with honors.

The Bulgarian people should be given the opportunity to hear a debate in parliament on conducting a referendum on election rules. The idea of a referendum should not boil down to bureaucratic procedures with a vague end. “I believe that a responsible attitude will be displayed and I call on for conducting the referendum together with elections for MEPs on 25 May. I would not like to think that the parties in parliament favor a low voter turnout,” President Rosen Plevneliev commented late in the evening on 17 March at a meeting he had with approximately 200 Bulgarians in the Bulgarian embassy in London.
