Modern Bulgaria should be a pragmatic country with ethical and profitable business, Maxim Behar, BBLF Chairman stated at a conference in Sofia dedicated to the future of Bulgaria. The modern country will be a country with no corruption, with social responsible business and transparent state administration, Behar added.   The leader of Simeon II National Movement and Bulgaria's former prime minister Simeon Saxe-Coburg inaugurated the Modern Bulgaria Forum.   The BBLF Chairman was the only Business organisation leader in the country to have been invited as a speaker.

The forum, which took place under the aegis of Saxe-Coburg, brought together representatives of the business sector, the academic community and young people with an interest in business.

Should we all find a common language, Bulgaria will shine in the European Union, Saxe-Coburg said in his address.

The meeting also aimed to establish a non-governmental organization named "Modern Bulgaria Forum" in support of young people with promising business ideas that would help advance towards good education and launch their own businesses.
