Producers of honey, milk and dairy products in Bosnia are licking their lips at the prospect of placing their goods on the Chinese market under a deal due to be signed at a summit in Sofia next month.

The Border Police of Bosnia and Herzegovina recorded 605 attempts of illegal border crossings over 2017, with the vast majority being from high migration risk countries. This is an almost threefold increase from 2016, when 218 attempts were recorded.

An interview of Bulgarian President Rosen Plevneliev with Germany's Frankfurter Allegemeine Zeitung (FAZ) has sparked outrage in Russian media.

Plevneliv has been referred to as "the loyal servant of Brussels" by Federalnoe Agentstvo Novostey (Federal News Agency), with a piece reading he "traded friendship with Russia for defending EU interests".
