The news was announced by Prime Minister Kiril Petkov
Bulgaria is prosecuting 70 Russian diplomats, announced the resigned Prime Minister Kiril Petkov. He said these diplomats were identified as people connected with foreign services and working against Bulgaria’s interests. “I want to congratulate the services and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for having done their job,” Petkov said. “All those who work against the interests of Bulgaria will be recalled by our country,” he added.
Petkov did not provide detailed information because it was classified. “Most of them worked directly for foreign services. The diplomatic role was more of a cover, “Petkov said.
“These are 70 people – a large number. They were in official diplomatic positions. These are diplomats at the Russian embassy, we are not talking about people outside the Russian embassy. I was reported to have carried out unusual activities for these positions. This is not aggression against the Russian people. “When foreign governments try to interfere in the internal affairs of Bulgaria, we have institutions that will counteract,” Petkov said.
He added that the plane with these diplomats will depart from our country on Sunday.
