The committee has placed Sweden’s SAAB Gripen jets offer at first place, it was reported. The Swedish bid was preferred over offers for used F-16 planes and used Eurofighter jets. The final decision will be taken by the future government of the country. Bulgaria wants to buy 8 fighter jets worth some 757 million euros.
