December 8 (SeeNews) - Bulgaria's government has said it plans to sign a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Serbia to encourage mobile operators to reduce their roaming charges applied in the two neighbouring countries.
The Bulgarian and Serbian governments will work on encouraging the mobile operators to sign contracts that would lead to a permanent reduction in retail prices of services in roaming for end-users, the Bulgarian government said in a statement earlier this week.
Last month, Bulgaria and Macedonia signed a MoU to join forces in encouraging mobile operators to reduce the roaming tariffs applied in the two countries.
In June, Serbian trade and telecommunications ministry said it plans to request the European Commission to remove the mobile roaming charges for the EU candidates Serbia, Macedonia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro.
