Bulgarian Prime Minister Rumen Radev congratulated the Serbian people on their participation in the democratic process and the Student List on its election victory in a statement posted on his social media account.

Radev stated that relations between Bulgaria and Serbia are shaped by centuries-old ties and a shared responsibility for regional peace, stability and prosperity. He said they aim to develop bilateral relations through constructive dialogue, economic cooperation and enhanced connectivity.

Radev noted that Bulgaria would continue to provide strong support for Serbia's integration process toward membership in the European Union (EU).

Emphasizing that the Bulgarian national minority in Serbia holds a special place in relations between the two countries, Radev stated that protecting the minority's cultural identity, language and traditions, as well as safeguarding its rights and opportunities, should remain important issues in bilateral dialogue.
