About Bulgaria - Bulgaria and the European Union
In the recent years the key priorities in Bulgaria’s foreign policy became the membership in the European Union and NATO. As a result of the country’s considerable progress towards meeting the criteria for EU membership, Bulgaria received on 10 December 1999 the invitation to start the pre-accession negotiations.
Bulgaria signed the Agreement for Accession to the EU on 25 April 2005 in Luxembourg. The proposed date for Accession of Bulgaria to the EU is 1 January 2007. Bulgaria joined NATO in 2004.
