Bulgaria, Romania To Open Two More Border Crossings
Thursday, 01 January 1970
Bulgaria and Romania said on Friday they will open two more border crossings in the land section of their common border, in the east.
Meeting on Friday, the two countries' foreign ministers Nikolay Mladenov and Andrei Marga discussed the EU multiannual financial framework, the completion of the construction of a second Danube bridge and the opportunities to build another one at Ruse or expand the existing one there, the state-run Bulgarian News Agency, BTA, reported.
Mladenov hailed the new Romanian government's commitment to reducing or abolishing or scrapping altogether the charges collected for passing the Ruse bridge. On the Bulgarian side of the bridge the charges have been reduced to 1.0 euro ($1.22).
