Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu attended the Craiova Forum, which is attended by the elected leaders of Bulgaria, Romania, Serbia and Greece. This is the first time a foreign leader has attended the forum.

Earlier, Netanyahu held bilateral meetings with Bulgarian Prime Minister Viko Borisov, Romanian Prime Minister Viorica Dăncilă, Serbian President Alexander Vucic and Greek Prime Minister Alex Tsipras.

At the end of the bilateral meetings, Prime Minister Netanyahu said that "ach of them assured me that they will improve their votes on matters that concern us both in the European Union and the UN. On the other hand, everyone wants us to advance the gas pipeline from Leviathan to Europe and the Balkans. They very much want Israeli gas, they very much want Israeli technology and they very much want Israel's friendship. That's a good sign. "
