I urge the Prime Minister, ministers and MPs to maintain “radio silence” while an interdepartmental expert working group examines the offers for a new type of combat aircraft for the Bulgarian Air Force. Let us show that we are a civilized country, and transparency, objectivity and level playing field are not empty words.

Emails were sent to the participants for details, waiting for their answers. The goal is that the issue will be resolved by the end of the year, he added.
