Bulgaria Romania: Bridge and Foundation Stone

bulgaria romania: Shortly after Bulgaria and Romania joined the European Union, the foundation stone was laid and in 2013, the New Europe Bridge was officially inaugurated with a celebration whose guests included prominent officials from Brussels, according to Deutsche Welle. Today, one cannot detect any signs of the long-desired economic upturn in the region. But it only became reality in 2007. Neighbors but not close Irena Vasileva lives in the Bulgarian city of Vidin and has walked across the almost two-kilometer-long 1.2 miles bridge over 50 times. But that didn't happen, says Vasileva, who works as a journalist. Many people thought that the bridge over the Danube would create new jobs in Vidin. (news.financializer.com). As reported in the news.
