Bulgarian President Rosen Plevneliev has scheduled a meeting of the Consultative Council for National Security on November 10, an official with the Presidency has said.

The session will focus on the geopolitical environment and the developments in the Middle East, alongside the migrant crisis, Ekaterina Zaharieva, an adviser to Plevneliev, has told private national bTV station.

Zaharieva has also explained the President refrained from calling the consultative council until now to avoid being acused of meddling "political infighting" in the run-up to local elections whose runoff is being held Sunday.
