Politicians from the various parliamentary groups reacted differently to the findings in Bulgarian government's Annual National Security Report.
The report positions the actions of Russia as a source of regional instability and one threatening Bulgaria's main goal - a united, free and peaceful Europe.
The report states three important facts:
First, Russia's increased military presence in the Black Sea region, and the federation's escalating military presence which, are concerning in respect to Russia - NATO and EU relations.
Second, the government notes the exacerbation of relations between Russia, NATO and the US, which is also indicative of a threat to this country's security.
The third finding in the report is Russia's increasing efforts to form different spheres of influence, including through various economic, political and cultural means.
