According to private TV station bTV, based on sources close to the matter, Stoltenberg is to arrive in Sofia by the end of the month.

During his visit to Bulgaria, Stoltenberg is expected to discuss the country’s commitment to gradually increase its military spending to 2% of the GDP, which has not been observed in the 2015 state budget.
