South and Bulgaria on the East. It occupies an area of 25,713 sq. km.
It is land-locked country, predominantly mountainous with striking massifs, as well as

country, connecting the countries of Central and Eastern Europe with the countries of
the South and South-Eastern part of the continent and further to the countries of the
Middle East and beyond.
