The only thing that worries me is the tension between “We Continue the Change” and “There is Such a People”, Bulgaria’s Deputy Premier and Minister of Economy Kornelia Ninova said for the BNT. “The National Assembly is to decide whether Bulgaria should send military aid to Ukraine. If the country’s Parliament takes such a decision, the government must fulfill it. However, I am not going to sign such a document. The government is free to release me from the position of Minister of Economy. They can appoint someone else who is ready to send weapons to Ukraine”, Kornelia Ninova went on to say.

The cabinet has never discussed changes to the coalition agreement regarding the position on North Macedonia. In her words, no arrangements were made during the meetings with the EU Commissioner for Neighborhood and Enlargement Oliver Varhelyi and the European Commission’s President Ursula von der Leyen.
