Together with representatives of Greece, Canada, Romania and the United States, they will participate in the flight training "Thracian Cinderella - 2020".

The participants perform a wide range of joint tasks in the Bulgarian airspace and operate from 7 military airports on the territories of Bulgaria, Greece and Romania.
