An upcoming high-level diplomatic meeting will have a significant impact on agricultural relations in the Eastern European region. On July 9, 2025, in Budapest, ministers of agriculture from five countries - Bulgaria, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia, and Romania - will gather.
A key participant in the event will be Bulgarian Minister Dr. Georgi Takhov, who will represent the country's interests in this large-scale international format. The forum aims to thoroughly examine current issues related to regional agricultural policy.
A main focus during the meeting will be discussing the principal agreement reached between the European Commission and Ukraine. Experts will conduct an in-depth analysis of the current state of the bilateral Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Agreement.
The ministers plan to adopt a joint declaration that will regulate specific agricultural aspects within the trade agreement. This diplomatic move is seen as an extremely important step towards aligning the positions of the participating countries.
The event is shaping up to be a key moment in communication between Central and Eastern European countries, creating a platform for constructive dialogue about the future development of agricultural markets and trade relationships.
