Prestige, although it currently seems like an imaginary concept, actually has a very concrete dimension. When you invite key people to Bulgaria, especially in terms of defense, and tell them "look at what we can produce in our country and in unlimited quantities", in fact, we are number one in terms of revenue from the sale of defense equipment in recent years per capita, said in "The Day Begins" MEP from GERB/EPP Andrey Novakov.
"The truth is that there are no other countries in the union that can procure the quantities of defense equipment that are needed so quickly, except for our country. And I just wanted to show it and advertise it".
We have a drone manufacturing company that can deliver the same day, added the MEP. "It's not just gunpowder and it's not just cartridges" - on the contrary.
"Apart from tanks and planes, we can do everything else and we do it", said Novakov.
Bulgaria is being taken very seriously, because in many indicators we are far ahead of other EU countries.
"If 800 million are allocated for defense throughout Europe, let's all try to keep 10% in Bulgaria", he said.
