Minister of Defence Todor Tagarev has met with the ambassador of the Republic of North Macedonia to Bulgaria Agneza Popovska, Bulgaria’s Defence Ministry has announced. The sides expressed satisfaction with the good cooperation and the intensive political dialogue in the sphere of defence, on a bilateral basis as well as within NATO.
