MEP Ilia Lazarov to advocate for the construction of several locks along the Bulgarian section of the Danube

''It won’t happen within the current term, but if we can at least get the process started, it will be important for the entire region. It will open up better economic prospects for the region'', said Ilia Lazarov, who is Vice-Chair of the European Parliament Intergroup on Seas, Rivers, Islands and Coastal Areas (SEARICA).

''Ruse is a strategic city — Bulgaria’s most European city throughout our modern history, with the strongest ties to Vienna and Europe. We owe a lot to Northern Bulgaria'', MEP Ilia Lazarov added.
