Bulgaria's Presient Rosen Plevneliev accused Russia of undermining the international law and destabilizing Ukraine.
He urged the EU and NATO to support the Ukrainian people in its bid to decide on its own future through honest elections, rather than through backroom machinations.
“When one powerful country simply destabilizes, establishes a sphere of influence and is ready to send in special forces, pretending to be self-organized squads, and two weeks later awards them in Kremlin, we have to realize, that this is not right,” Plevneliev said in front of law students and professors in the Sofia University Law Department.
“Who has the right to decide Ukraine's fate – the people of Ukraine in honest and open elections, a new referendum, or great nuclear powers who will negotiate on peripheries, centers and spheres of influence,” asked Plevneliev.
According to him, reshaping of borders in Europe should not be that easy, “because we all know how dangerous it is when a powerful country undermines the international law and order.”
Later Plevneliev told reporters that Bulgaria is an active NATO member and must address the changed balance of power in the Black Sea region.
“We must strengthen our defense abilities,” he said. “We are witnessing a deliberate destabilization and we must not leave it unchecked.”
