President Iotova to raise the issue of Black Sea security at the UN

President Iliana Iotova told bTV that she will raise the issue of Black Sea security in her address to the United Nations General Assembly: “This is now one of the biggest stakes for the security of Europe as a whole, while at the same time we are already facing major problems. The latest drone that fell was just 40 kilometers from the beaches. Shipping has been disrupted, and insurance companies are already refusing to insure vessels sailing in the Black Sea. It could get to the point where, one day, there will be no one to arrive at our ports”, Iliana Iotova said.

The head of state will participate in the general debate of the 81^st session of the General Assembly, which will take place from September 22 to 28 in New York.

She mentioned that Russia began its “invasion” five years ago, but stressed that “we have the greater task of stopping the war at any cost”. Asked whether Ukraine should give up territory, Iotova said that “this is a matter for negotiations”.
