“The dynamic changes in the geopolitical context and the growing risks facing national and collective security mean that the armed forces must develop, much more dynamically, adequate defence capabilities, a high level of training of the army headquarters and formations, as well as an enhanced interoperability with our allies,” said President Rumen Radev at a ceremony, at which he conferred the rank of brigadier general on Hristo Ganetsovski, and appointed him Deputy Commander of the Joint Forces Command, a structure within the Bulgarian army in charge of the operational management of the military formations under its command. The Bulgarian head of state added that after the successful certification of the NATO battalion battle group at Novo Selo, important tasks lie ahead connected with its adequate functioning and with the coordination among the armed forces of the various countries.
