Bulgaria is part of efforts to de-escalate tensions, Bulgaria is also part of strengthening the Alliance’s eastern flank. This was stated by President Rumen Radev in Sungurlare, where he is visiting.
The joint mission for control and protection of the airspace on the territory of Bulgaria, together with our allies from the alliance, has already started “, the head of state answered the question whether we should accept American forces.
Radev explained that Bulgaria, as a framework country in the formation of the battalion battle group, is open to all allies for the participation of their contingents, which will contribute to filling the deficit of capabilities in the ground forces.
The most important guarantee for our security is the combat readiness of the Bulgarian army. Bulgaria is a sovereign state, a full member of the Alliance, “Radev said.
According to him, there will be no war.
“We all hope that a full-scale war will be avoided. The only way to find a solution is through diplomacy and constructive talks.
The biggest risk to national security is to neglect the problems of the Bulgarian armed forces.
We cannot think of them only from crisis to crisis and from catastrophe to catastrophe.
There must be constant attention at the highest state level to their combat capability, and we will discuss these issues tomorrow.
Radev also spoke about his relationship with Kiril Petkov. Asked if the second cabinet would do better in recent months, he said:
The caretaker government is already in history. We need to look ahead. Bulgaria is governed democratically.
There is a constructive communication between the government and the presidential institution.
But the government needs support in this difficult situation. Institutions must work to solve the problems, “Radev said.
Regarding the 19 + 1 list presented by Kiril Petkov and whether it is the right thing to do, Radev commented that “any open opposition of the government against corruption follows the approval of the people.
But the government must be very careful, to know where and with whom it is dealing. I am convinced that the fight against corruption must be waged with the strength and legitimacy of the institutions, and not only with the popularity of social networks “, added the head of state.
According to him, democracy and the rule of law cannot be restored by illegal methods.
