The headquarters of a multinational brigade under Bulgarian command on our territory will be established in response to security threats, said the Chief of Defense Adm. Emil Eftimov, who together with the Chair of the NATO Military Committee, Adm. Rob Bauer, observed demonstrations at the Novo Selo training ground, related to increasing defense potential on the Alliance's southeastern flank.

Several countries have already announced their intention to participate in the multinational brigade, including Italy. Emil Eftimov also said he welcomed the decisions to adapt NATO's defense capabilities on the Eastern Flank at the backdrop of the war in Ukraine. "For the past 18 years, Bulgaria has been a firm and dedicated ally that contributes to the stability of the Western Balkans," Rob Bauer said.
