Prime Minister Petkov: We are investigating a large Russian intelligence diaspora in Bulgaria

“What we are investigating in many places is a large Russian diaspora in Bulgaria. SANS is investigating them. Some of my reports are about Russian agents who worked specifically against our mutual understanding of the Republic of North Macedonia. Russia's interest has been focused on having no European future for the Western Balkans”. This was stated by Prime Minister Kiril Petkov in Blagoevgrad.

According to him, someone is trying to replace the Bulgarian interest. “We have several such cases that we are working on,” he said.
