Europe, the Americas, Russia and China shoud unite to counter terrorism applying a full range of security measures, Bulgaria's President Rosen Plevneliev has said.

"Our weapon is integration, not isolation," the President has said, urging the bloc to take steps toward "more Europe" and not "less Europe."

In his words, all religious groups such as Christians, Muslims and Jews should keep on living together and produce a united response against terrorism.

President Plevneliev made his comments during a ceremony to confer high military ranks on Bulgarian armed forces' officers on Monday.

The head of state opined Bulgaria should show solidarity and help any EU member state in need, but will then expect reciprocal measures in behalf of the "European family."

He called for increased external border controls, but warned against such measures adopted at borders between EU member states, saying it would incite further division in Europe.
