The Romanian government approved negotiations with the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) to buy Moldova's only port, the Giurgiulesti International Free Port (GIFP), according to official Mihai Constantin. However, Bucharest is now facing unexpected competition from Bulgaria’s BMF Port Burgas, owned by brothers Kiril and Georgi Domuschiev, who also own Ludogorets Razgrad, Bulgaria’s most successful football club in recent years. Coincidentally, Ludogorets is set to play today in Hincesti, just 170 km north of Giurgiulesti. For BMF Port Burgas, this move is strategic, as it aims to undermine Romania’s largest port, Constanta, which is a key competitor in the Black Sea region.
