President Plevneliev: 'We Should Continue Writing History of Strong Bulgaria in Strong EU'

"We should continue writing the history of a strong Bulgaria in a strong EU. We should start new integration projects and look forward and not backward," President Rosen Plevneliev said in his address to the nation on the occasion of the upcoming New 2017 Year.

The yearning for past glory or the wish fr the strong hand of a leader, who would bring prosperity do not offer a solution. The solution lies in strong institutions, which will guarantee justice and rules for everyone. The solution is in the conscious efforts of everyone of us to improve and upgrade and not to destroy," the President noted. 

He recalled that Bulgaria will mark the 10th anniversary of its accession to the EU on January 1, 2017 describing it as undoubtedly a historic achievement along the road of fulfillment of the national ideal, defined by national hero Vassil Levski - "Equality with the Other European Peoples". Today, Bulgaria is completely different compared to the year, when it stated its European path, the President said enumerating economic and social achievements, such as the growth of the gross national product and the increased spending on education, pensions and social policies.
