“The financing for defence could be increased, provided there are concrete projects,” Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance Assen Vassilev stated today, and added that if there are Ministry of Defence projects which have not been presented within the budget procedure, they should be examined.
Minister Vassilev stated further that no money will be paid out for “aircraft on paper”, and added that there is a programme, which has been adopted, of up to 2% of the GDP for modernization and armament and that this programme was being implemented. This country is a little over the percentage envisaged for the year, Minister Vasslev said.
