Bulgarian Vice President Iliana Iotova subscribes to a gradual removal of sanctions against Russia.
Talking to Nova Television she said: “In principle this position has not changed given that these sanctions have not yielded the results that everyone expected. Bulgaria is not alone in this position – there are many voices even in Germany not to mention a declaration voted by the French parliament for lifting sanctions, because they harm the interests of the average citizens of European countries.”
