Relationships between Sofia and Belgrade are advancing to a new level, said Sofia Mayor Stefan Sofianski after a meeting with his Belgrade counterpart Radmila Hrustanovic on Tuesday. Hrustanovic came on a two-day official visit to Bulgaria on Monday.

According to Sofianski the two capital cities will cooperate in urban transport, hot water supply, finance, business and culture. He added that Sofia will help Belgrade design a waste water treatment facility. On Monday the two mayors toured the Bistritsa Treatment Plant, whose modernization and construction has been internationally financed. Sofia will also share its experience with Belgrade in setting up a municipal bank.
