"Obviously, the tensions have been rising, but I wouldn't say they are going to escalate to war." This is what Prime Minister Kiril Petkov said on the occasion of convening the Security Council by the government.

I am sure that the decisions we make will protect the Bulgarian national interest," the Prime Minister added.
