"John McCain is an absolutely senile man who came to Bulgaria and stopped South Stream."

Nationalist Ataka party's leader Volen Siderov reiterating his stance that Bulgaria is constantly being imposed conditions from the outside world.

Siderov is referring to a visit by three US senators in June 2014 which was followed by ex-PM Plamen Oresharski's announcement that South Stream's construction would come to a halt until a further EU decision.

"I was there like a representative of Bulgaria. Virtually, in my face Bulgaria recognized Crimea," he also said, commenting on the visit he made to the Crimean peninsula last week.
