“Bulgaria is a sovereign country and we have long made our choice by becoming a member of NATO. As such, we decide alone how to organise the defence of our country in coordination with our partners. The NATO Treaty did not provide for second-category member states for whom collective defense is to be applied selectively or within a limited scope. We call on the Russian Federation to remain engaged in constructive dialogue to de-escalate tension.”
