Bilateral Relations

Bulgaria

Greek-Bulgarian diplomatic relations, which date back to 1880, have evolved gradually, and stand today at a remarkable level. The constructive development of our bilateral relations has been constant and upward in all sectors of cooperation, particularly after Bulgaria’s accession to NATO (29.03.2004) and the EU (01.01.2007).

The Greek Embassy in Sofia includes a Consular Office, an Economic and Commercial Affairs Office, a Public Diplomacy Office, a Defence Attaché’s Office and a Police Liaison’s Office.

Useful Information
The excellent relations between Greece and Bulgaria are underpinned by regular exchanges of high-level political visits and a vast array of cooperation in various fields. Greece and Bulgaria are partners and allies in the EU and NATO and collaborate harmoniously in regional organisations, initiatives and cooperation schemes, including the SEECP, the Regional Co-operation Council (RCC) and BSEC. Greece was among the countries that fervently and substantially supported Bulgaria’s accession to NATO and the EU. Our country also actively supports Bulgaria’s application to join the Schengen Area, the Eurozone and the OECD. Bilaterally, Athens and Sofia co-operate closely on political, economic and energy issues. This cooperation is advanced by the Greek-Bulgarian High-Level Cooperation Council, that was established under the coordination of the two countries’ Prime Ministers. The Greece-Bulgaria HLCC has already convened four times (Sofia - 27.07.2010, Athens - 17.12.2012, Sofia - 01.08.2016 and Alexandroupolis - 26.02.2020).
