Presidential administration sources comment that President Radev is expecting the presentation of the European Defence Fund in Sofia to help the national defence industry and researchers find a way to effective integration and cooperation with European scientific and industrial structures working in the defence sector. The participants in the conference include Elżbieta Bieńkowska, Commissioner for Internal Market, Industry, Entrepreneurship and SMEs and Jorge Domecq, Chief Executive of the European Defence Agency.
