Foreign Minister Velislava Petrova: Drone attacks in the Black Sea are unacceptable
Published
Bulgarian Foreign Minister Velislava Petrova has expressed serious concern regarding the increasing number of drone attacks in the Black Sea. According to her, these actions create a dangerous perception that commercial vessels in the region have turned into a battlefield, which is completely unacceptable to the international community.
In a television interview, Minister Petrova emphasized that security in the Black Sea is of critical importance to Bulgaria. Military actions near our borders threaten not only shipping but also economic stability in the region. According to her, any escalation of tension carries a risk for trade routes that are important for Bulgarian business.
A key emphasis in the Foreign Minister's statement was the role of diplomacy in seeking a peaceful resolution to the war in Ukraine. Petrova stated that Bulgaria continues to support the efforts of international partners to restore security and uphold international law in maritime spaces.
In conclusion, the Bulgarian authorities are monitoring the situation with increased attention. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs calls for de-escalation and dialogue to ensure the safety of all ships passing through the Black Sea and to avoid further incidents that could affect the country's national interests.
