'We condemn the unprovoked violation of airspace,' declared Prime Minister Rosen Zhelyazkov in response to yesterday's incursion of drones into Polish airspace. Speaking during a visit to the town of Simitli, he emphasised: 'Our position is clear and aligned with that of our allies. We reaffirm the Alliance's commitment to taking all necessary measures as outlined in the treaty.'


He described the incident as an unnecessary provocation that contributes nothing to the de-escalation of tensions between Russia and European Union countries. He confirmed that there are currently no plans to invoke Article 5 of the NATO Treaty, which states that 'an armed attack against one or more of them in Europe or North America shall be considered an attack against them all'.


However, at Warsaw’s request, Article 4 of the NATO Treaty, which allows for consultations between member states, has been activated.
