In connection with security in the Black Sea region and Bulgaria’s position on the forthcoming NATO summit in Warsaw, Foreign Minister Daniel Mitov has told parliament that Bulgaria supports stronger NATO presence in the Black Sea with a view to deterrence and prevention of conflicts in the region. Defense Minister Nikolay Nenchev has specified that there are no rising military tensions in the Black Sea but that there is imbalance of forces and NATO seeks to restore the balance, because Russia has deployed 250 warships and 6 submarines to the sea. According to Nenchev the main problems of Black Sea region security arise from the turmoil in Russia-Turkey relations, the crisis in Ukraine and sanctions imposed by Russia, as well as from the growing Russian military potential in Crimea and the Black Sea.
