President Rumen Radev will announce on Monday, June 17, when he will convene the first session of the 50th National Assembly. This is what he told journalists in Kazanlak. Commenting on the words of GERB leader Boyko Borisov from today for an expert cabinet, he said: "I expect from statements to move on to a dialogue between the political forces. It depends on them whether and what kind of government we would have, we are waiting for this dialogue to continue".

In Kazanlak, the president attended a competition between military drone operators. "We are opening the door to the creation of a new kind of troops - unmanned. These are affordable, cheap technologies with a huge asymmetric effect. They have a huge impact on the battlefield and I am glad that we are finally starting to train people in our armed forces", Radev pointed out.
