Struma Motorway Cannot Bypass Kresna Gorge Entirely - Bulgaria PM
Bulgarian Prime Minister Boyko Borisov on Thursday ruled out that the construction of Struma motorway can completely go around Kresna Gorge, in southwestern Bulgaria.
A main challenge at the summit in Brussels is giving a guarantee for the security of citizens, MEP Andrey Kovachev from Citizens for European Development of Bulgaria (CEDB/GERB), EPP, told FOCUS Radio’s Good Morning Bulgaria.
This could be done, he said, through a stronger collaboration between European security services, exchange of intelligence information, investments in defence, and even the creation of a European army.
Regarding the idea of Prime Minister Boyko Borisov about a collective membership of the EU in NATO, Kovachev explained it is about complementing capacity and responsibilities between countries in NATO, which he called a strong European defence pillar in NATO. It could also be a response to US criticism that Europe is doing little about its defence./FOCUS News Agency/
