The development of the Roman Emperors' Road - a new international tourism project was the top focus of a meeting of Bulgaria's and Croatia's Economy Ministers in Zagreb on 27th April as part of a Bulgarian state delegation led by PM Boyko Borisov.
"Tourism harbours a great potential for Bulgarian-Croatian economic ties", said Bulgarian Minister of Economy, Energy, and Tourism, Traicho Traikov, and his Croatian counterpart Duro Popijac.
The Roman Emperors' Road is a major international cultural collaboration involving four countries - Bulgaria, Croatia, Romania, and Serbia. It will promote cultural heritage from the Roman Empire period in combination with more modern practices such as spa tourism.
In Bulgaria, the itinerary includes Roman routes that are still in use today as major transport arteries such as the Danube River, the Sofia-Plovdiv-Svilengrad road and the Black Sea Panorama road.
Ministers Traikov and Popijac have hailed the 10% growth of Bulgarian-Croatian co-operative trade for 2010. Traikov remarked in Zagreb that Croatia's accession to the EU will ensure a further substantial boost in the exchange of trade and investments.
The two Economy Ministers further agreed that their respective energy companies will study the options for exporting Bulgarian electricity to Croatia. At Traikov's initiative the Bulgarian National Electric Company NEK and the Croatian NER will survey the technical and financial conditions for electricity trade. Croatia currently imports about 35% of its electricity.
Traikov and Popijac further underscored the importance of the development of the EU-sponsored Southern Gas Corridor for the imports of Caspian natural gas, creating liquefied natural gas terminals in Southeast Europe, and electricity grid connections.
Traikov and Popijac also opened a Bulgarian-Croatian business forum, while Bulgaria's Deputy Economy Minister in charge of tourism, Ivo Marinov, took part in a meeting of the joint Bulgarian-Croatian Tourism Commission.
In 2010, Bulgaria's trade with Croatia amounted to €117.6 million, 10% more than in 2009; Bulgaria was visited by 14186 Croatian tourists in 2010, also a 10% year-on-year growth; and Croatian companies invested a total of €38 million in Bulgaria in the period up to 2010
