“We have been seeing a growing number of risks and threats to European order and security, as well as a tendency towards an increase in conflicts in immediate proximity to the EU borders,” Chief of the Defence Admiral Emil Eftimov said after a meeting with General Claudio Graziano, Chairman of the European Union Military Committee.

Admiral Eftimov laid emphasis on the need to continue the joint work of the Euro-Atlantic structures on projects such as military mobility and crisis interaction.

At a meeting with Graziano, the outgoing Prime Minister Boyko Borissov stressed that dozens of military exercises were held in the country over the past four years. He reminded that Bulgaria had purchased new multi-role fighters F-16 block 70, and is also working hard to purchase two new ships.
