"We have called on the Commission to begin work on Plan B if the rhetoric gains any real dimension," Mitov is heard telling repoters on footage aired by the Bulgarian National Television.

Mitov's words come after he participated in a meeting of EU foreign ministers on Wednesday.

"We hope this will not be the case, but our policies cannot hinge om hope alone," Mitov argues.
