Quote from Ms. Bezuhanova selected by the editorial:
“Companies come for cheap labor, but will remain for brains”
“It’s hard fired!”
“Only money and even programs can not resolve anything. There is a triangle that should be in balance – science, education, innovation. Smart countries extend their time competing with investment in qualified professionals in a modern infrastructure, cutting-edge creative mechanisms to attract capital. Business is very pragmatic and impolitic. Businesses are not appropriate and should not hold political positions or party in a conflict in which we can not play any role. Rather, an intelligent position is to analyze and develop opportunities for its projection in various countries and regions. With the state should pursue a policy of good positioning of the Bulgarian business. ”
