Bulgaria has been added to Russia's "blacklist" of unfriendly countries. As of yesterday morning, the country has been placed on the list of potential enemies, according to the main Russian federal TV channel "Rossiya 1".
"As far as friends are concerned, who the friends are we do not know, but this morning the list [of the unfriendly countries] was updated. Please, show on the screen - we had to add to it Bulgaria this morning" the presenter said when the Kremlin's list of unfriendly countries was displayed.
Bulgaria has been added to the previously listed apparently hostile countries: USA, Poland, Czech Republic, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Great Britain, Georgia, Ukraine and Australia, the Moscow media explained.
