“There is no danger of Bulgaria being deprived of its Presidency of the Council of the EU, these are insinuations, fake news that is once again surfacing in the media,” Lilyana Pavlova, Minister in charge of Bulgaria’s EU Council presidency in 2018 told reporters, commenting on information that that MEPs from different countries had allegedly demanded that Bulgaria be deprived of the presidency. Minister Pavlova presented the process of Bulgaria’s preparation for the Presidency of the Council of the EU at the PanEuropa Bulgaria forum taking place in Sofia.
“We have no problems or pending issues regarding the Bulgarian presidency, a team has been put together, the first draft of the presidency priorities is ready and we are ready with the timeline of events,” Minister Pavlova said and added that six months before the start we have a clear framework and we know what the priorities are and who the people working to make the presidency a success will be.
