About 700 Bulgarian companies are making the first moves to enter Kosovo's market following Pristina's government's embargo on import of goods from Serbia, Bulgarian media have announced.

A Bulgarian delegation headed by Minister of Agriculture Miroslav Naydenov paid a visit to Pristina on Wednesday during which the possibilities of import of Bulgarian food to Kosovo were discussed.

Kosovo businessmen stated for the Bulgarian National Radio that they are interested in the development of trade relations with their colleagues in the Bulgarian agricultural sector, adding that Bulgaria now has a realistic chance to enter Kosovo's market and make a profit in the agricultural trade with Pristina of nearly EUR 300 million per year.

According to Bulgarian electronic media, Kosovo needs an urgent supply of food and agricultural products from Bulgaria.

A few days ago, Kosovo Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Trade and Industry Mimoza Kusari-Lilja paid a visit to Sofia and conferred with the Bulgarian minister of agriculture to inform him that Kosovo is in need of cereals, flour, sunflower oil, sugar and confectionery products.
