International Fair to Boost Croatia, Bulgaria Economic Cooperation
Politics: 16 September 2003, Tuesday.
The International Autumn Fair — in which Bulgaria partners Croatia — in Zagreb is an important drive for further development of economic cooperation and trade between the two countries, Bulgarian Prime Minister Simeon Saxe-Coburg said Tuesday during his official visit to Croatia’s capital.
Saxe-Coburg joined the Fair’s opening, also attended by Croatian President Stjepan Mesic. The Bulgarian prime minister made a tour around the exhibition area, starting from Bulgaria’s pavilion.
Saxe-Coburg underlined that he joined efforts with his Croatian counterpart Ivica Racan to provide favorable conditions for economic assistance between the two countries. He also pointed that common goals — to enter the European Union (EU) and NATO — were a good basis for cooperation in the spheres of trade and industry.
The prime minister pledged unconditional support for Croatia’s efforts to start EU pre-accession talks and receive an invitation to join NATO.
