Bulgaria's President Rosen Plevneliev is due to meet with Romanian counterpart Klaus Iohannis on a Friday visit to Bucharest.
Plevneliev is the first head of state to do this since Iohannis was
sworn in following his unexpected victory against PM Victor Ponta in
November.
The two are to discuss the gas interconnection grid between the two
countries and further cooperation. Transport links will also be on the
agenda.
Earlier in February, Bulgaria and Romania, along with Hungary and
Greece, pledged to build the so-called Vertical Gas Corridor linking
their gas transit systems to boost energy security.
Foreign Minister Daniel Mitov is accompanying the head of state. The
two will also meet representatives of Bulgarian businesses currently
based in Romania.
