PM Georgi Bliznashki 'Has No Information' about Bulgarian Jihadis

Bulgaria's security services have not provided any information about citizens of the country fighting on the side of Islamic State (IS), caretaker Prime Minister Georgi Bliznashki said Monday.

Bliznashki, however, asserted he needed "data from the Defense Minister" to state a clear position on that matter.

His comments followed statements made by Defense Minister Velzar Shalamanov, who announced last week there were Bulgarians fighting for IS and demanded a meeting of ministers with security officials to discuss the situation.
