In her address, Bulgarian National Assembly President Tsveta Karayancheva stated that in almost 30 years, the format is proving to be a success for the participation of parliaments in the decision-making process on issues from the European agenda and a guarantor of citizens’ democratic control over the European Parliament. The forum is focusing on the priorities of the Bulgarian Presidency – young people, economic growth, the digital economy, the Western Balkans, the future of Europe, the policy of cohesion.
