“There are two possibilities for Bulgaria to be equipped with fighters. It is clear that either second-hand or rental aircraft must be rented. The most important thing is not to lose the abilities and manpower – the people who fly. For this to happen, the Ministry of Defense is already holding talks in this direction. Certain agreements have been reached and they will be presented when they are finalized. ” This was stated by Atanas Zafirov – Deputy Chairman of the BSP and Chairman of the Defense Committee of the National Assembly.
“Talks are underway to provide equipment that will prevent a shortage of capabilities. Both options are possible. It is a matter of budget decisions, “he added.
“It is good that everything that is done is done with thought. So when the F-16s come, the transition should be smooth, “Zafirov added.
According to him, the coalition is stable at the moment. “The fact is that there are topics on which there is some disagreement in the coalition. It is good that in a regime of dialogue it is overcome and in the end we come up with united decisions “, commented the Deputy Chairman of the BSP.
“This was enshrined in the coalition agreements themselves. “There we left the possibility for the parties in the coalition to have their own opinion on a number of issues, which may even be in the form of bills defended in the hall,” he said.
