Russia's war in Ukraine led to NATO's acceptance of an adapted forward presence package in Bulgaria and Romania. "We started talking about the Maritime Coordination Center in Varna, about intensified air policing, about a multinational division in Romania and training initiatives,", said Bulgaria's head of defense Adm. Emil Eftimov.
In order to strengthen the NATO battle group in the country to a brigade, conditions must be created. We are talking about infrastructure. For this purpose, Bulgaria strives to ensure connectivity in the directions "South-North from Alexandroupolis to Romania and along corridor No. 8 from the Adriatic Sea through Albania and North Macedonia," he said, adding that the two corridors are a priority for construction.
Eftimov also announced that Bulgaria, Romania and Turkey have so far destroyed more than 12 mines in the Black Sea, in the joint operation to maintain the coastal fairway.
