Here is the statement of Prime Minister Kiril Petkov on the topic after the meeting of EU leaders in Brussels:
We discussed a very important topic with President Joe Biden – how corruption can be Putin’s tool for the Balkans. He told me, “I absolutely believe what you say.” I also gave the example of “Turkish Stream”, where it is a fact that BGN 3 billion was spent from our money for a pipe that we can not use, and apparently the jeeps of “Arcade” were found at home as Mrs. Arnaudova. This is exactly the tool, you work with the political elite, if you are Putin, you make them spend national money on your projects and you work them through corruption. This is not only in Bulgaria.
