Minister Ilin Dimitrov held a working meeting with H. E. Željko Jović, Ambassador of Serbia to Bulgaria

Minister of Tourism Ilin Dimitrov met with H. E. Željko Jović, Ambassador of the Republic of Serbia to Bulgaria.

Minister Dimitrov extended an official invitation to Serbian Minister of Trade, Tourism and Telecommunications Tatjana Matić to visit Bulgaria to participate in a conference on digital transformation in tourism. The forum is scheduled to take place at the end of October. 

The invitation, extended through Ambassador Jović, is a continuation of the conversation that the Bulgarian minister had with his Serbian counterpart in the framework of the Sixth Global Wine Tourism Conference of the UN World Tourism Organization in Alba, Italy. 

“Bulgaria and Serbia have traditionally good relations; our western neighbour is part of our top 10 tourist markets. The Serbs love our winter resorts, but it is important to work to promote Bulgarian summer tourism,” Minister Dimitrov said. 

“Serbs really like Bulgarian resorts and know that Bulgaria offers an extremely attractive product in terms of price and quality. I hope more of my compatriots will explore the holiday opportunities,” underscored H. E. Željko Jović. He noted that it was important to keep close contact between the two nations. “Bulgaria has never been better advertised in our country. My advice is to invite journalists and bloggers to see how easy it is to get to the sea from Serbia”, said H. E. Željko Jović.     

The meeting discussed the possibility of exchanging experiences and working together to promote the two destinations and joint initiatives between the countries in the context of the region.
