Bulgaria’s Minster of Defense Nikolay Nenchev starts consultations with all parties represented at the National Assembly on the development programme of the country’s defensive capabilities. The consultations are necessary, because the parties have to reach a consensus about the future development and modernization of the Bulgarian Army. The process starts in 2016 with the additional money allotted to the Ministry of Defense, Minister Nenchev specified. In his words, the Air Forces are to receive an extra EUR 40 million. The Naval Forces will also receive additional finance to the tune of EUR 40 million and the Land Forces will receive an extra EUR 20-25 million.
