This was stated by President Iliyana Yotova in an interview with bTV. There will be a note, diplomatic negotiations, and everything necessary in such a situation, as the National Security Advisory Council sharply condemned this attack, emphasized Yotova. Attacks on ships in the Black Sea have become too frequent, and we must be cautious about when we activate Article 4 of the treaty with the Alliance, so that the text of the pact is not devalued, Yotova explained. Iliyana Yotova added that what Bulgaria has requested from the EU is a more precise specificity for the newly adopted strategy for the Black Sea, as well as Bulgaria having the opportunity to access all video surveillance systems that the EU possesses. Yotova also stated that Bulgaria can participate very actively in a coalition for peace. Yotova pointed out that she is considering three options for the war in Ukraine - based on small steps in an agreement for the Black Sea or an energy truce, a truce that is linked to a European proposal on the negotiating table with all the proposals that the EU can make, and multi-layered diplomacy for genuine peace. Yotova stated that she has seen the footage of the beating carried out by the perpetrator Ognyan Atanasov, also known as "The Petritch Escobar" in the central Sofia prison. #Дронове #ЧерноМоре #България (translated)
