Bulgarian business asked to be updated on the Bulgarian position on Kosovo, BTA reports. Speaking to the press Monday, Bulgarian Chamber of Commerce and Industry President Bozhidar Danev said that the government should invite business representatives to discuss with them the status of Kosovo and the economic implications for Bulgaria.

"Nobody has offered to tell us what the Bulgarian position is, and we, as representatives of business, have a right to know," he said.

A large part of Bulgaria's trade - some 65 per cent - is now with the EU and the route of this trade goes with Serbia, Bozhinov went on to explain. If passage through Serbia is impeded, the government should say what capacity is available for diverting the cargo traffic through Romania without congesting traffic. "Companies call to ask us if crossing Serbia is OK and we are completely in the dark," Bozhinov said.
