"The Bulgarian Army's deployment abroad is in line with the state policy of contributing to stability and peace in the Western Balkans. I would like to stress that the activation order for the contingent came on Friday evening, we are sending a contingent on Tuesday. They are prepared, certified and I am confident that they will perform their tasks," the admiral was quoted as saying by BTA.
