During the meeting it was acknowledged that the US remains engaged in the partnership process for Bulgaria's accession to the Visa Waiver Program.
The progress Bulgaria has made in this area, especially in recent weeks, has been acknowledged. PM Glavchev stated that the Bulgarian Foreign Ministry is conducting an information campaign regarding the visa refusal rate which is still high. The Bulgarian prime minister set up a working group to accelerate the measures on the visa issue, a government announcement reads.
