An intensive exchange of information is continuing between Bulgaria and Czechia connected with the investigation of the blasts at the arms depot in Vrbetice to which the name of Bulgarian arms dealer Emilian Gebrev has been linked.

This was made clear after a meeting between Bulgaria’s interim Foreign Minister Svetlan Stoev and his Czech counterpart Jakub Kulhánek who is on a visit to this country. The positions of Bulgaria and Czechia on the explosions at Vrbetice are absolutely identical, Minister Stoev said. Jakub Kulhánek on his part stressed that Czechia is insisting on a review of the EU’s relations with Russia:

“Czechia is very active on this matter, it is on the agenda of the EU meetings at a foreign ministers’ level. We must have an open discussion on how to formulate our relations with Russia in the future,” Minister Kulhánek said.
