All preconditions are in place to build a NATO coordination center in Sofia in a matter of several months, and this will be up to the readiness of the rest of the partners, Bulgarian Defense Minister Nikolay Nenchev said. Half of its staff will be foreign nationals from partnering organizations. The minister said the staff will be about forty, of them twenty Bulgarians. The center in Bulgaria is one of six coordination centers that the Alliance said it would set up along its eastern flank. Taking a question from the press Minister Nenchev explained that NATO’s Brussels meeting had discussed two options that represent certain threat. One of them is from the East, and the other from the South. We have not underestimated either of them, the defense minister said having in mind the crisis in Ukraine and developments surrounding Islamic State.
