The importance of the Black Sea region, the Schengen area and bilateral relations were the main topics of conversation between Bulgaria's Vice President Iliana Iotova and the Romanian Ambassador in Sofia, Her Excellency Brândușa Predescu.
The Vice President stressed the need to include Black Sea projects in the National Recovery and Sustainability Plans. The topic of the two countries' Schengen membership was also discussed, as well as the need for coordinated action.
