Bulgaria and Romania always perform their duty of solidarity to all the other citizens in the European Union. Ladies and gentlemen, especially those from the far right who spoke a short time ago, I hope that these arguments will make not only European citizens, but also Finnish and especially Dutch citizens, see that Bulgaria’s accession ..."@en1
