"We have 3.7% steady growth of gross domestic product, many German investors, fiscal reserve, foreign exchange reserve, and we are second after the USA in investments in the defense sector," he added. "I can say that the only one who always remains in his position as prime minister, no matter the changes in Europe, is Borissov, Zöder told the Bulgarian Prime Minister.
