The Ambassador of the United States to Bulgaria has been invited for talks at the country’s Foreign Ministry. The Bulgarian Ambassador to the USA has demanded an urgent meeting with the Director for South Central European Affairs at the U.S. Department of State Matthew Palmer. Bulgaria’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs will also demand consultations between the United States Department of Justice and the Bulgarian Ministry of Justice.
