Putin Wants to Do Business with Bulgaria.

Economy is the new key word in Moscow-Sofia relations.
Russia is interested in turning Bulgaria into an energy center in the Balkans. This has become clear after the visit of President Parvanov to Moscow and his talks with President Putin. Russian gas will make Bulgaria the regional energy center. Parvanov has understood what are the turns in Russian diplomacy under Putin. Business interests come to the fore now. To Russia the fact that Bulgaria becomes a regional energy distributor means strengthening of its own business position in the Balkans. To them it is significant. Western competitors invade the region offering projects for transit and energy carriers.
Moscow's willingness to help Sofia with the nuclear power plant in Kozloduy or to take part in the construction of a nuclear power plant in Belene serve the same cause. In our country Bulgaria's role as an energy center is not seen as a priority yet, like for instance NATO or EU membership. However, it is a strategic objective. In Moscow Georgi Parvanov brought up a sore problem of Bulgaria - customs procedures for BG exports to Russia.
The result of talks is the agreement to sign the documents on standardization of our export and lifting of some barriers to our goods on the Russian market. If the next summer the number of Russian tourists in our resorts doubles up this will be thanks to Parvanov's efforts. In Moscow he has shouldered the task to introduce e-visas and alleviate border-crossing procedures for Russian tourists. The visit was accompanied by a gaffe of the BG cabinet. The government has chosen the day and hour when Parvanov landed in Moscow to take the decision about military aid for Georgia where Chechen separatists are hiding.
Parvanov's response was resolute - he definitely distanced himself from the cabinet. The Kremlin in its turn also made it clear that the Bulgarian President and government are different entities . Moscow backed up Parvanov. It signaled that in the future it will give a "warm shoulder" to BSP when it stands for election.
