The topic of the meeting is entitled "Review and analysis of the current geopolitical situation and the resulting risks to national security." In addition to the permanent members of the Security Council, the chairpersons of all parliamentary groups have also been invited to attend the council.

Before the meeting, Nikolai Denkov from We Continue the Change-Democratic Bulgaria (PP-DB) said that defense funding should be increased and that Bulgaria should participate in European defense policies.
