Q: What direction should the EU take - towards United States of Europe or towards Europe of the Nations?
A: I think there’s a common ground between the two visions - cooperation between the member-states. The question is about the extent of that cooperation - whether the emphasis should fall on integration of the different nations or mostly on economic cooperation. I think it would be perfect if we can a find a combination of the two projects.
Q: What’s your opinion on the issue of enlargement? Should the Western Balkans and Turkey join the union and when?
A: There are certain criteria that the Western Balkans need to meet, just as Bulgaria and Romania did before joining the EU. From Bulgarian point of view, I believe that it is better to be surrounded by states in stable economic condition which are integrated in the EU. If Bulgaria manages to help the Western Balkans in that sense we shall deserve a very good image and credit.
Q: What should be the priorities of the Bulgarian membership in the EU?
A: As a young person I see education as priority. With the proper education and proper qualities, we can better integrate in the European family and be competitive.
Q: What would be your personal priorities if you would become a Bulgarian representative in the European Parliament?
A: My personal priority is education which is very important especially for Balkan countries like Bulgaria. There are minorities in the Bulgarian society like the Roma which don’t manage to use the opportunities to tackle their problems. I believe there should be a unified European educational system to enable and strengthen the mechanisms for student mobility in all the 27 member-states.

Sarkozy just repeated himself today as far as Turkey’s candidacy at his meeting with Obama: “no way”. That says a lot.
Yes, it does.
You can see the positions of some other Bulgarian candidates who pretty much share his view:

Yes, Turkey. Yes, ex-Soviet states - Russia and Israel eventually. Federation was killed when Eastern Europe joined the EU. It’s “ever wider” now (not “ever closer”).
