Wines from the Balkan country have been known more for quantity than quality, and Bulgaria now accounts for only 0,6% of world production.
Bulgaria is considering writing off Soviet-era debt it is owed by Libya to contribute to a deal that led to the release of six medics convicted of infecting Libyan children with HIV. After more than eight years in jail, five Bulgarian nurses and a Palestinian doctor who recently took Bulgarian citizenship were freed on Tuesday.
United States President George Bush said on Monday it was a high priority for the US to win the release of five Bulgarian nurses sentenced to death in Libya for infecting children with HIV. ”It’s a high priority for our country,” Bush said. ”Our hearts also go out to the children that have been infected by HIV and Aids.”
