The visit of the Bulgarian president Parvanov in Italy continues.

He is going to meet the Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi and will talk to representatives of the Italian business.

Yesterday, during the talks between the Bulgarian president and the Italian president Giorgio Napolitano, Parvanov emphasized on the need to prevent any serious decrease of investments even in the conditions of an international crisis.

Italy holds the fifth place in foreign investments in Bulgaria. For the last few years, the Italian business invested 1,3 billion euro, mostly in the banking sector, the transport and energetics.
