A common path towards one goal is being sought - peace. This was stated to bTV by Foreign Minister Georg Georgiev, quoted by news.bg.

For us as Europeans, in his words, it is important to start taking care of our security, our military industry. No one has an interest in destroying cooperation with the US, according to our first diplomat. Peace is built on the Europe-US alliance, in his opinion. The path to peace will be found, Georgiev is optimistic.

The Bulgarian defense industry has enormous potential, the Foreign Minister is convinced. Bulgaria wants lasting and sustainable peace in Ukraine, it became clear from his comment on the coalition of the willing. Europe must participate at the negotiating table, emphasized Georg Georgiev. Bulgaria will insist on participating in all formats so that the Bulgarian position is heard. He again confirmed that we will not send military personnel to Ukraine. The institutions must speak with one voice, the foreign minister believes.

I am an enemy of self-flagellation, Georgiev said about the UNESCO case. He accused former Culture Minister Naiden Todorov of amateurism and deliberate actions. According to him, Naiden Todorov lied about the organization of the event. In addition, the former Culture Minister did not give an estimate of how much the UNESCO session would cost us.

Our first diplomat announced that a report would be filed with the prosecutor's office against Todorov. Mr. Todorov did not lift a finger, he accused him. The decision to host the UNESCO session was self-union, it became clear from his comment.

Georgiev does not want Valentin Tonchev as his deputy minister, it became clear from his laconic comment. I have seen the clip myself, I believe my eyes, he pointed out.
