In the context, Filip underlined the need to foster economic cooperation, development of common investment projects, exchange of experience in terms of implementation of the Association Agreement with EU, justice reform and fighting corruption.

“We hope to further keep and develop this important partnership, to turn to good account the bilateral cooperation potential, to boost business ties and investment projects.
