The government has approved and proposed to the National Assembly to accept the report on the state of the Bulgarian Defense and the Armed Forces report for the past year, the press service of the Cabinet announced.

The main conclusion of the report is that the Bulgarian Armed Forces are in a position to fulfill their tasks during missions stemming from the constitutional obligations to guarantee the sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of the country within NATO's collective defense and the Common Security and Defense Policy of the EU.

This, however, is at the backdrop of a number of difficulties related to financial issues, staff shortage and obsolete arms and combat equipment. For this reason, some tasks are executed with limitations. The previous version of the report read that the armed forces could only partially fulfill their duties.
