The Bulgarian Socialist Party (BSP) demands that Bulgaria initiates the cancellation of the EU sanctions against Russia, said the party press office.

The BSP parliamentary group tabled in the National Assembly a draft proposal on the need of reconsideration of the EU policies on sanctions against Russia.

So far the Bulgarian army has spent BGN 1 M on the construction of the 30-km fence at the border with Turkey, reports the Trud daily. 

One third of the sum has been spent on petrol and diesel, according to the reports, presented by Defence Minister Angel Naidenov. 

According to him, so far have been completed 9 km of the fence. 

Bulgaria's government asked NATO for more active use of the Bulgarian-US military bases in the country and increased number of NATO troops, said Defense Minister Angel Naidenov.

Bulgarian President Rosen Plevneliev suggested that Russia was intentionally provoking extraordinary flights of Bulgarian fighters.
