"Although it is not on the front line of the fight against the coronavirus, NATO must continue to play an important role - civilian and military capabilities must respond in full coordination, that's what our citizens expect." This what Bulgarian Deputy PM and Minister of Foreign Affairs Ekaterina Zaharieva told her NATO counterparts during the Alliance's first ever video conference. Minister Zaharieva called on NATO to assist the EU in its efforts to supply needed medicines and medical equipment from third countries.

Bulgaria has also called for a stronger commitment of the Alliance in the Middle East and North Africa, as well as solidarity with Greece and Turkey, which are experiencing great difficulties because of migrant pressure from Syria.
