German customs officers could provide assistance to their Bulgarian colleagues at the Kapitan Andreevo checkpoint on the EU's external border with Turkey. This was discussed in Sofia by the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance Assen Vassilev and the Minister of Finance of Germany Christian Lindner.

The two discussed support for Bulgaria's efforts to join the euro zone in 2024. "We also talked about the possibility for the Anti-Money Laundering Agency and the European Prosecutor's Office to have enhanced powers, like it is in Germany," Vassilev said.

Lindner also spoke with Prime Minister Kiril Petkov. "We appreciate the fact you stood up against Gazprom at a crucial moment," the guest said, according to the government's press service.
