During the meeting they talked on topics in which the two cities cooperate. Sofia and Vienna have a very active partnership in the fields of culture, ecology, urban mobility and innovation.

The Mayor of Vienna, Michael Ludwig pointed out that the two capitals have common traditions and priorities that connect them while facing similar problems. The mayors also discussed the challenges in the urban environment and transport related to the expansion of the population of both capitals. According to Michael Ludwig, in recent years Sofia is developing fast and is a very beautiful city.

Sofia will continue to benefit of Vienna's experience in developing innovative urban projects and to promote the work of IT start-up companies by providing opportunities for financing projects and partnerships with other European capitals. The investment agencies of Sofia and Vienna have been working together for a year after a co-operation agreement has been signed.

Vienna's expertise is particularly important in the field of air quality and the development of public transport. The mayors of Sofia and Vienna discussed the city scooter system used in Vienna. Sofia is also preparing a pilot introduction of such a system.

The two municipalities will continue to work together in the field of culture, supporting the organization of joint international exhibitions focusing on the cultural heritage. Yordanka Fandakova invited Dr. Michael Ludwig to visit Sofia again.
