At present, there is no information indicating a threat to the security of Bulgarian citizens. However, enhanced security measures have been taken in the country and security has been provided at strategic locations. This was announced after the end of the meeting of the Security Council under the Council of Ministers convened this evening by caretaker Premier Dimitar Glavchev in connection with the challenges and threats to Bulgaria's national security due to the escalation of tensions in the Middle East.

The meeting was attended by Bulgaria’s Minister of Interior, Bulgaria’s Minister of Defense, heads of security services and representatives of political parties represented in Parliament.

Caretaker Prime Minister Dimitar Glavchev said that Bulgaria is calling for deescalation of the conflict in the Middle East in line with the European position on the matter. He also highlighted Bulgaria's swift response in evacuating Bulgarian citizens from Lebanon. "We are doing everything possible to protect the lives and health of Bulgarian citizens", said Premier Glavchev.

Bulgaria’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs is in constant contact with the Bulgarian embassies in Beirut, Tel Aviv and Tehran. Our diplomatic missions in Lebanon, Israel and Iran continue to work, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Elena Shekerletova said earlier today. President Rumen Radev will convene an extraordinary meeting of the Consultative Council for National Security on Friday.
