The current 2013 categorically does not belong to the politicians, but to the civil society in Bulgaria – it sets the agenda and draws the attention of the institutions. This is what Rosen Plevneliev said. He opened the first of a series of discussions under his aegis devoted to the market economy in Bulgaria.

President Rosen Plevneliev presented to representatives of Estonian business information about the macroeconomic indicators and business environment in Bulgaria. In Tallinn, the President had meetings with the President of the Estonian Chamber of Commerce Toomas Luman and the Managing Board of the Chamber.

Bulgaria and Estonia share common positions and interests regarding the EU cohesion policy, the measures for encouraging innovations as well as the liberalization of the energy markets and the diversification of the energy sources in compliance with the requirements of the EU Third Liberalization Energy Package. These were the main topics discussed in the talks held between Bulgarian President Rosen Plevneliev and his Estonian counterpart Toomas Ilves during the first day of the Bulgarian Head of State’s visit to Tallinn.

Although today there are still different interpretations of the attitude of Bulgarian politicians to the crisis in Syria, there should be a unified position in Bulgaria on this issue. Such a position can be shaped in Parliament. This is what President Rosen Plevneliev told journalists today, after he opened the 11th international conference “Security in South-East Europe – seeking intelligent solutions”.
