Stefan Tafrov published an open appeal on October 15, 2026, in Sofia, stating that the Black Sea is becoming a military zone and that Bulgaria must prepare to defend itself. In the text, he pointed out recurring drone attacks on commercial ships, including near the Bulgarian coast and in Romanian territorial waters, as well as established subversive operations by Russian agencies in Bulgaria and Romania over the past few years. Tafrov called for every case to be investigated based on evidence but stated that the lack of definitive attribution does not justify inaction. The author expressed concern that the Bulgarian political leadership does not show the necessary determination to protect national security. He urged citizens to demand from politicians evidence of the state's readiness to protect them, and the government to condemn the escalation of Russian military actions in the Black Sea, strengthen surveillance and protection of air and maritime space, accelerate the development of capabilities against drones, and improve coordination among institutions. According to the appeal, Bulgaria must work with allies to protect shipping, ports, and critical infrastructure. Tafrov urged the EU and NATO to treat the security of the Black Sea as an immediate priority and strengthen the defense of the eastern flank of the Alliance. He pointed out the need for integrated maritime and aerial surveillance, intelligence sharing, and joint capabilities against aerial and maritime drones. The appeal stated that the upcoming presidential elections provide an opportunity for public debate on security and Bulgaria's place in European politics. Among those who joined the appeal, Tafrov noted Rosen Plevneliev, Boyko Borissov, Ivan Kostov, Kiril Petkov, Nikolay Denkov, Anyu Angelov, Asen Vassilev, Atanas Zapryanov, Boyko Noev, Valentin Radev, Velizar Shalamanov, Gergana Pasi, Daniel Mitov, Korman Ismailov, Lydia Shuleva, Meglena Kuneva, Nadezhda Neynski, Nikolay Nenchev, Nikolay Svinarchov, Rumyana Buchvarova, Solomon Pasi, Todor Tagarev, Traicho Traikov, Chavdar Chervenko, Stefan Dimitrov, Dinko Ivanov, Valeri Rachev, Vesela Cherneva, Dimitar Ivanovski, Elena Poptodoorova, Ivan Anchev, Ilian Vassilev, Orhan Ismailov, Radan Kanev, and Stefan Tafrov. #НационалнаСигурност #ЧерноМоре #България (translated)

Rumen Radev stated that Bulgaria supports any coalition aimed at quickly ending the Russian war against Ukraine through diplomacy. He pointed out that the country has not severed diplomatic relations with Russia and that a few days ago he invited the Russian ambassador for talks to halt strikes against ships in the Black Sea. According to Radev, this communication channel should be expanded with specific measures and proposals. Radev said that Bulgaria participates in the anti-mine group in the Black Sea and was among the first countries to join the "European Sky Shield" initiative after it was announced by Germany in 2022. He condemned the attacks on civilian and commercial vessels as unacceptable and proposed a moratorium on military strikes against shipping in the Black Sea, stating that he expects support from EU partners. He noted that the sea is an important corridor for the delivery of food, fertilizers, and energy resources, upon which millions of people rely, especially in vulnerable regions of Africa and the Middle East. According to Radev, the "Chelsea 3" vessel was supposed to be towed the same afternoon to the port of Burgas for repairs and checks for drone remnants. He stated that Bulgaria has hypotheses regarding the perpetrator of the attack, but clear and solid evidence is needed before a specific country is blamed. Radev stated that he does not support military strikes on refineries and energy facilities in Ukraine and Russia, as he believes they directly affect fuel prices and the competitiveness of the EU. He pointed out that over the last two decades, Europe has shut down a number of refineries and is now dependent on imports of finished fuels, particularly diesel and aviation fuel. According to him, the shortage of aviation fuel in Europe has led to the doubling of its price within a few months. He said that Bulgaria supports the construction of new energy corridors between Europe and the Middle East to ensure reliable supplies at competitive prices. Regarding the new Multiannual Financial Framework of the EU, Radev said that Bulgaria supports efforts to enhance the competitiveness of European economies. He added that this should not be at the expense of EU policies for social and economic convergence and the Common Agricultural Policy. #ЧерноМоре (translated)

"Yesterday I spoke with the Prime Minister of Romania, today I am set to talk with the President, so that we can come up with a joint initiative before the EU Council to support the efforts of Bulgaria, Romania, I can also include Turkey, to establish the Black Sea as a sea where no strikes are made against commercial and civilian ships. This is the most important thing for us because this unacceptable aggression against civilian ships must stop. The Black Sea is not just a security zone; it is an extremely important strategic corridor for the delivery of food, fertilizers, energy resources, and millions of people depend on these supplies. We expect all our European partners to adopt this moratorium on stopping attacks against civilian ships," said Radev. #Черноморие #Солидарност #Дипломация (translated)

"We do not have time to wait! Russia has decided to directly test NATO's territory. Every day of hesitation increases the risk of the next strike and of disrupting the oil supply to the Burgas refinery. This time, Russia's aggression must have a real cost! National security is defended with determination, not fear!" wrote the former leader of "We Continue the Change" and former Prime Minister of Bulgaria Kiril Petkov on the social network "Facebook" after the Russian attack in NATO's territorial waters. #НАТО #Русия #сигурност (translated)
