Bulgaria can be proactive and set a direction’, Gabriel said and underlined that our country still has a lot of potential to show the whole diversity of its expertise, history and culture. ‘Continue to stand up for the fundamental principles as Bulgarians and make us proud that Bulgaria is active on the European and world stage’, Mariya Gabriel concluded.
