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. Discussions focused on the contribution of the Republic of North Macedonia to the measures for strengthening the Eastern flank via the NATO multinational battle group in Bulgaria with framework nation Italy, the future development of the battle group to brigade level, as well as transport connectivity.
