How Greece and Bulgaria Set Aside Rivalry to Embrace Unity over Time

Very interesting video!

Both countries are bound to be together for ever! Peace and prosperity is the only way for the future!

Man AI voices are the worst

your map does not show all Greece but a part of it

Greeks and Bulgarians is the best example of good neighboorhood.
Greeks love Bulgarians and vice versa. For me Bulgarians are our best and most loved neighboors.
In Greece you will hear many positive words for Bulgarians and our relationships.

No rivalry. The Balkan wars are long gone, and there is no conflict or hate between us. After all, we always had a common enemy.

True, Greece 🇬🇷 and Bulgaria 🇧🇬 are very close to we each other. There is much love and respect between the Greeks and the Bulgarians.

🇬🇷🇧🇬🇬🇷🇧🇬🇬🇷🇧🇬🇬🇷🇧🇬
Best neighbours ever!
So much common history together.
Always love between us!

Love our Bulgarian neighboors-brothers from Greece!
🇬🇷💙🇧🇬

More hay can cause cancer or even worse, you probably believe that 😅😂

At this moment, Bulgaria is the only normal, civilized, European neighbor that Greece has.

You forgot to mention that both Greeks and Bulgarians are "secretly" supporting each other in the comments section (I see it) when it comes to North Macedonia, because it cynically stole history from both countries thanks to Tito 🤭🤠🤣 jokes apart, our relations with Hellas are super. In Sofia it is very very easy to find Greek products. Not to mention that many Greek singers are listened in Bulgaria. Should stupid Austria say yes to land Schengen, the free borders will be very beneficial for us, the same as Romania. Plus, lots of shared history is there even it was bitter. We love their sea and they ironically visit our ski resorts. New bromance.

That was a great video! Thanks!

Greece Bulgaria Albania Serbia and all balcan countries must be like brothers the only enemy in the area is turkey we have but memories of them in our countries.

🇬🇷❤️🇧🇬

This is how it should be between two European people

By entering EU made the dream of exit to the Aegean a reality eliminating merchant barriers !! Realizing Bulgaria's dream in to a reality !!!

Smart people always to that. Peace and cooperation. Hint: Iranians and Jews can do the same.

Greece always had a hidden link with Russia. Greece is the most left leaning country within NATO with heavy and pronounced anti-American and anti-western feelings. In a recent referendum, Greece voted by 61% to exit the EU and the Euro, widely believed to be evil if not demonic. I admire how the rest of the western world tolerates the presence of Greece.

i am from bulgaria and i hope for this to last forever after so much hate in the balkans we show them how it is done our relations political and social were never that good we can have what we want by this union and we want peace free travel good relations and free trade. i hope serbians macedonians kosovars bosniaks even turks and albanians to watch us and take an example.

Bulgarians made many war crimes in ww1 and ww2 in Macedonia Greece!

As a Bulgarian whose ancesors ran away from what is now northern Greece after WWI I can not agree more. I studied in Greece, I speak the Greek language and I have so many Greek friends. Something unimaginable 2-3 generations ago. Bulgaria-Greece current relations are a proof that good economic cooperation can make historical enemies into best friends. Greece is like a second home to me.

Apparently, Greece has a problem with all their neighbors!

from albania all the best to Greece and Bulgaria

Ποιος εβαλε πρασινα ματια στο μιτσοτακη ? Τωρα μοιαζει ακομα πιο sinister

We had our issues in the past, but it's been a long time since. As a Greek I consider Bulgarians as brothers 🇬🇷☦️🇧🇬 united against Islam

Serbia Greece Bulgaria : United against the barbarian enemy

So lame a and boring

Actually the current border between the two countries is barely a century old. You mean to describe something else ... be more accurate please. In any event the relationship between Greece and Bulgaria has echoes of France and Germany - also historically antagonistic with each other.

Well done! I think that the analysis should include Romania also, the 3 countries are very well connected in all the ways you can imagine and the integration will grow with time. ;-) RO♥BG♥GR

we hold no hate or even dislike for the people or the gov't of bulgaria from the greek side. in fact, we're in serious agreement about some even more serious issues. we wish them all the best and we hope their lev currency is replaced by the euro, just as planned, on january of 2025.

Bulgaria is a Greek byzantine colony everything they have is Grecoroman civilazation

its really fascinating. How from the conflicts of the past, today we have perfect and extensive relations in all sectors!!!
Greeks consider Bulgaria as our best neighbors. The case of GR-BLG must be a model for other countries.

Bulgaria changed after becoming socialist after WW2. But unlike Albania, Bulgaria remained friendly as a capitalist state. As soon as Albania and Skopje became capitalist, they revisited their pre war rivalry with Greece.

Actually Bulgaria did not send any Jews to Germany. They tricked them and ended up sending empty trains, while they evacuated their Jewish population

Listen there should be no wars between Orthodox Christian☦️ countries. Its not only a blasphemy but a self-harm to all of us. We need to understand also that just because a nation speaks the same language and has a similar culture does not give us the right to invade it. Its possible to have two independent states that share the same language and culture. For instance Greece and Cyprus, Bulgaria and North Macedonia, Romania and Moldova, Russia and Ukraine, France and Belgium, Germany and Austria and on and on and on. Just because we have the similar culture and language doesnt give us the right to invade each other and make our lives miserable. Brotherhood/Bratsva rooted in Common Orthodox Christian Faith☦️ rather than Imperialism and Nationalism should rule the day. Its natural for all of us to be proud of our countries but dont elevate the nation to a level above God like many people do today. DnA is the best example of this. I am a proud Romios (Greek) with Bulgarian Dna (20%) and Greco-Albanian DnA (46%). More than 12,500 villages and cities in Greece have Slavic toponymns (ovo/evo). Between 20-30% if Greeks have Slavic DnA and a similar amount of Bulgarians have Greek DnA. What nationalism my friends. We are neighbors who are looking in the same mirror at each other.

Our common hatred for North Macedonia's cultural thievery has definitely brough us together.

This is just the beginning of the Bulgarian-Greek tango. These two countries are key geographically for the new corridor from Greek ports to Ukraine and the Black Sea. It was no accident that Bulgaria persistently persuaded Greece to join the Three Seas initiative. If a new European army is formed. Bulgaria and Greece are becoming key countries and guardians of the Balkans. Greece and Bulgaria can together put under control one of the most important key regions of all of Europe - Thrace Bulgaria holds the Black Sea, Greece the Aegean. Together they become like a small empire - a small Byzantium. They understand this very well and we will see how they continue to develop their policies in the future. Energy is important, but it's not everything. Greece has access to the islands and makes it possible to bypass Turkey, Bulgaria has a nuclear power plant in which it has already invested heavily and has already bought the most advanced American technologies for new capacities. Energetically, these two countries are becoming key for the Balkans. The transport corridors are superb in the new geopolitical realities. Bulgaria and Greece are perfectly positioned. It remains to be seen whether the politicians of these two countries will be able to extract maximum benefits for the countries without falling into national selfishness and confrontation.
If Bulgaria and Greece find a way to attract Turkey, it would be a colossal success. These three countries meet in Thrace and have every opportunity to explode economically and become an unavoidable geopolitical factor. Unfortunately, the Greek-Turkish conflict gets in the way.

Best neighbors. We love Bulgaria!

Both countries are controlled by Georg Soros!
That is why they became the two poorest countries in Europe!
Greek public debt: 234%
Bulgaria's national debt is 184%

All of us, Bulgarians, are descendants of Hellenes, Hellenized Thracians, Goths, Illyrians, and therefore Balkan music, especially Greek, is in our blood. The proto-Bulgarians, Cumans, Vlachs and Slavs also participated in the genesis of our nation, and it is a wonderful Balkan mixture that has created a strong, centuries-old nation that is related to all its neighbors. It's time to look for what unites us.

Take some notes North Monkeydonia :)))

As a Bulgarian, we love Greece no longer are we enemies, now we have our eyes on Istanbul..

Great video. I would add the role of Greek port Alexandroupolis. Greece's major focus on Alexandroupolis benefit Bulgaria as well as there are plans for high speed land and rail links to Bulgaria, Romania and Ukraine are in the works. Needless to say, that Bulgaria and Greece can bypass the Bosporus, which can elevate immensely their strategic value at the expense of Turkey....

Let’s do this! 🇪🇺 ❤

The modern relations Between Greece and Bulgaria is a model for all the states in the area to move on ahead!

Glad to hear that Russian and Bulgarian mafia groups are taking over northern Greece. I knew you wouldn't be able to hold that land for long.

Greece stole land from us, but we forgive you. 🇧🇬 🤝🇬🇷

Another massive breakthrough will be the accession of BG and RO into Schengen. No more borders, no more crazy hours f pointless waiting. The movement of people and the economic exchange between these countries is set to flourish.

Have you ever wondered how countries with a history of conflict can turn their relationship around? Greece and Bulgaria have done just that, transforming centuries of rivalry into a partnership.
