Bulgaria’s caretaker cabinet has authorized the deployment and the use outside the country’s 12-kilometer maritime zone of military equipment and personnel within the Mine Counter Measures Task Group Black Sea. The cabinet’s decision allows up to four warships (frigates with up to 153 crew members and minesweepers with up to 50 crew members) to participate in the implementation of tasks agreed upon in the Memorandum of Understanding on the Establishment of the Mine Counter Measures Task Group Black Sea, signed on January 11 by Bulgaria, Turkiye and Romania.

 The decision also allows the deployment of up to 10 military personnel to Romania and Turkiye to coordinate the naval group's activities. The operation will take place within the exclusive economic zone, the territorial sea, the contiguous zone and the internal waters of Bulgaria, Romania and Turkiye, reported BTA.
