We need to make this additional spending on people", said Minister Zapryanov. ''We expect our social package to be supported. We want to update the pay of servicepersons", Minister Zapryanov added. In his words, there is a paradox- at some point there will be modern equipment but no personnel. ''The issue of conscription is not on the agenda as a political decision, but only as a discussion'', Atanas Zapryanov went on to say.
