I have numerous conversations with my colleagues within the Union. I have discussions with representatives of NATO member states. This perspective is shared. I am optimistic that the issue of the need for security in the Black Sea region is understood, appreciated, and we will be increasingly ready, increasingly prepared in every respect to deal with the challenges that the war in Ukraine poses in this region," Demerdzhiev added. #Сигурност #ЧерноМоре #ЕвропейскиСъюз (translated)

We are responsible for the territorial sea. In the economic zone, these are international waters.

The threats are much more serious at the moment, given the war in Ukraine, and we acknowledge that they will remain serious even after the war ends, so we aim to equip ourselves with much more serious and reliable technology, including additional ships, equipment, anti-drone systems; we will do everything necessary and possible. Interior Minister Ivan Demerdzhiev told reporters that work is being done extremely actively to strengthen the capacity, as a whole in the EU, including Bulgaria, to operate more successfully in the Black Sea. #ЧерноМоре #ВойнаВУкрайна #НационалнаСигурност (translated)

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)
