 | | Bulgaria’s Government is to be congratulated on the steps that it has taken to ease the visa regime with various countries, including countries of major strategic investment importance to this one, and to open the way for full labour rights for European Union citizens when Bulgaria joins the EU. |
 | | Bulgaria is building bridges that are welcome, and putting up walls where they are required. |
 | | Meanwhile, in the specific case of the mining ventures, a decision must now be made as to whether the environmental concerns being claimed are legitimate or are merely a political manouevre, and if they are not, for the state to begin to act as a true facilitator, in line with stated national policy. |
