I mean, we are in very close contact with our allies and partners and some of these Bulgarian citizens have already been removed from the territory of Afghanistan."

The officers, sergeants and soldiers shared rhis expeience with their colleagues who are here and have not been on foreign missions.
Interoperability with allies and partners, performance of tasks in completely different climatic conditions, different natural conditions, different cultural environment. The Bulgarian army has not lost a single serviceman in all these 20 years of our presence in Afghanistan," the minister added.
