Bulgarian President Rumen Radev has warned on his Facebook page that with the coming of elections, speculations on the topic of national security rise and recent prominent politicians try to point out problems in the joint air policing and military exercises of NATO in the Black Sea.
NATO exercises in the Black Sea were agreed at the meeting in Warsaw in July 2016 and have nothing to do with the idea of a so-called "Black Sea fleet." These exercises have been held regularly for years. The decision that the national airspace should be guarded jointly with partners as Bulgaria pays fees was taken and sent to NATO in February 2016 and today its initiators are trying to transfer the responsibility for their own decisions to someone else.
As chief of the armed forces I declare that Bulgaria will not pay a single lev for the joint security of our skies, despite existing financial commitments, President Radev wrote on Facebook and urged politicians to be more responsible when discussing issues in the sphere of security.
