I do not have the necessary information to comment on the expulsion of the Russian diplomats from Bulgaria, said President Rumen Radev, who is attending the NATO summit in Madrid. "I hope that the outgoing prime minister has taken the decision on the basis of solid and reliable information," Radev added.
