The Bulgarian Army is in critical need for technological rearmament and modernization, said President and Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces Rossen Plevneliev. According to the head of state, this is the only way for Bulgaria to ensure its security. Opponents of this modernisation put into question Bulgaria’s role and membership in EU and NATO, he added. The President believes that despite difficulties, the army acts effectively and enjoys the trust of Bulgarian citizens and allies in the collective defense of NATO and the EU.
