In an official announcement on its website, the Bulgarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs warns Bulgarians to avoid travelling to Russia because of the military tension in the Rostov region and the risk of unrest in the country.

We remain available and monitor the situation in Russia minute by minute," Foreign Minister Mariya Gabriel told journalists in Veliko Tarnovo. According to her, the situation remains part of Russia's internal affairs for now.

"It is the president's decision whether to convene an Advisory Council for National Security," Gabriel added.
