The outgoing Minister of Foreign Affairs, Georg Georgiev, announced that the ratification of Bulgaria's membership in the Council for Peace will be left to the next National Assembly. This decision comes after statements by the outgoing Prime Minister Rosen Zhelyazkov, who announced the forthcoming introduction of the draft law for ratification.
Georgiev emphasized that the decision is logical and should be made by the newly elected parliament. He noted that the Council of Ministers has authorized the outgoing Prime Minister to sign the act, but the final move remains in the hands of the next National Assembly.
Membership in the Council for Peace is limited to three years unless the states pay 1 billion dollars. Georgiev pointed out that after the third year, the financing requirement may be removed.
The Council for Peace, chaired by Donald Trump, will focus on the conflict in Gaza and other conflicts. Bulgaria, according to Georgiev, has the opportunity to assess how to act in the future.
The Foreign Minister also touched upon the issue of European unity regarding Greenland, as well as his relations with President Rumen Radev. He also commented on the measures that will be taken in case of escalation of the situation on the borders with Serbia, Montenegro, and Bosnia and Herzegovina.
