Atanas Atanasov calls for National Security Advisory Council meeting

national security Russian aircraft Bulgarian airspace Iranian threats Atanas Atanasov

Atanas Atanasov, Deputy Chairman of the National Assembly and member of Democratic Bulgaria, has called on the Bulgarian President to convene the National Security Advisory Council. He cited growing national security risks, specifically regarding a Russian aircraft that flew through Bulgarian airspace with official permission. While the flight was officially explained as being for firefighting assistance, Atanasov suggested the mission could have served intelligence purposes.

Atanasov also criticized the perceived lack of response from Bulgarian institutions regarding potential Iranian threats to European and American targets, including those in Bulgaria. He emphasized that while NATO membership and air defense capabilities mitigate the risk of direct missile strikes, other forms of threats remain. He urged the Minister of Transport and special services to provide transparency regarding the flight permissions and the current security situation.
