The strategy is to negotiate the land borders, we have prepared a proposal, and we will send it to Austria. We will use the EC as a mediator in these negotiations, Bulgarian Prime Minister Nikolay Denkov said in Brussels.
We will negotiate today and tomorrow. We do not want to remain hostage to decisions that have no common logic with the EU, we will try to avoid entering into a European Council decision again, he added.
Hungary said that if we don't remove the gas tax they will veto us for Schengen, we decided not to risk these important steps for Schengen, Denkov said.
For the budget, the priorities are clear – migration is one priority. The other priority is Ukraine, we consider aid to Ukraine as aid to Europe and, in particular, to Bulgaria. It was clearly said that after Ukraine there may be other countries, we must remember that, Denkov said. Aid to Ukraine is decisive for the common policy for Europe, and Bulgaria can help with clear arguments. /BGNES
