Talking to reporters in parliament, Boyko Borissov stated that negotiations would be held with three countries for the purchase of combat aircraft for the Bulgarian air force.

New ones must be bought, he added, not secondhand machines. Boyko Borissov pointed out that F-16, Eurofighter, Gripen and MiG all have factories and manufacture new aircraft. The Bulgarian Prime Minister added that the negotiations would not be rushed and all details would be scrutinized because “it is a question of a lot of money and we shall negotiate a better bargain with concessions over time regarding payment and cost.” The task of conducting the negotiations has been assigned to experts and to Minister of Defence Krasimir Karakachanov.
