Former Interior Minister Tsvetlin Yovchev: Neutrality is no guarantee of Bulgaria's security
Published
Former Bulgarian Minister of Interior Tsvetlin Yovchev has expressed serious concerns regarding the current geopolitical situation. According to him, our country's attempts to demonstrate neutrality regarding the war in Ukraine will not provide long-term protection for national security.
Iovchev emphasized that Russian military actions are aimed not only at changing the situation on the front but also at undermining the unity of European states. Moscow's main strategy is to reduce Europe's support for Ukraine while simultaneously testing how ready NATO is to react in the event of an escalation of tensions.
The expert points out that Bulgaria is in a complex situation due to its proximity to the conflict in the Black Sea. According to him, passive behavior and the avoidance of a clear position could make the country more vulnerable in the face of hybrid threats and attempts at external influence on our internal processes.
In conclusion, Tsvetlin Yovchev calls for a more active and predictable foreign policy. He believes that Bulgaria must act in full synchronization with its allies in the Alliance to ensure its stability and contribute to security throughout the entire Southeast European region.
