I held a meeting with 🇪🇺@vonderleyen, 🇷🇴@KlausIohannis, and 🇧🇬@GabrielMariya on ways to uphold the single market principle and access of Ukrainian agricultural products to the EU market.

The Joint Coordination Platform allows us to maintain active dialogue and solve all agricultural issues.

I informed my counterparts on Ukraine’s next steps and coordination of joint actions.

Ukraine is a future EU member and we need to work together to liberalize trade and prevent any unilateral restrictions.

Together with Romania and Bulgaria, we are seeking effective logistical solutions to increase transit via “Solidarity Lanes”.

Ukraine and the EU highly value Bulgaria’s efforts. I am also grateful to Romania for strengthening EU unity and upholding principles of the single market and free competition.

Together — Ukraine, the EU, Romania, and Bulgaria — we discussed alternative routes which will help significantly increase volumes of transit while also decreasing pressure on Romanian and Bulgarian domestic markets.
