Bulgarian president praises Greek PM’s work
Bulgarian President Rosen Plevneliev praised the work of Greek Prime Minister Antonis Samaras on Monday, saying he ignored the political cost to save the country, during his visit to the northern city of Thessaloniki.
"The Greek prime minister has shown an exemplary behavior, he ignored the political cost and implemented the right reforms sparing the country from a nasty adventure," Plevneliev said during a lunch with Culture Minister Kostas Tasoulas and Thessaloniki mayor Yiannis Boutaris, at the city’s Byzantine Museum.
"I wish other leaders follow his example," Plevneliev added.
Earlier, President Plevneliev laid a wreath at the relics of Tsar Samuel of Bulgaria, kept at the museum, marking the 1,000th anniversary of his death.
