Bulgarian Cabinet of Ministers initiates the abolition of anti-Russian sanctions

88
The Minister for the Bulgarian Presidency of the EU Council, Lilyana Pavlova, confirmed the information previously published in the Bulgarian media that official Sofia would raise the issue of lifting anti-Russian sanctions. This will happen, according to Pavlova, in January 2018, when Bulgaria will take over the presidency of the Council of the European Union.

Bulgarian Cabinet of Ministers initiates the abolition of anti-Russian sanctions




Earlier that the issue of the need to lift the sanctions against Russia will be raised early next year, said the head of the Bulgarian government, Boyko Borisov. The same Borisov, who earlier noted that Bulgaria, a member of NATO, should consider Russia as a threat, since NATO defines Russia as the "main threat to the alliance." According to Borisov, all this should not in the end hinder the dialogue with Moscow on economic cooperation.

Lilyana Pavlova:
Prime Minister Borisov and the entire Bulgarian Cabinet consider it necessary to put on the agenda of the discussion at the EU Council the issue of lifting the sanctions on the Russian Federation. This question we consider a priority. It is necessary to discuss the issue of lifting anti-Russian sanctions in an open format, to analyze, clarify the damage to the European economy from the many years of economic restrictions. I confirm that the topic is a priority for us.


Earlier, Deputy Prime Minister of Bulgaria Iliana Yotova stated that there was no point in extending sanctions against the Russian Federation, since “they had no effect (on Russia)”.

            You do not have ANY clue about the real situation! No. In Bulgaria, 5 years underperform export is growing at 11% per year. In 2016, there was a record - 23,6 billion euros! In 2017, goods of the entire 500 million of the euro were exported to the Russian Federation. Not much, but it’s 13% growth in comparison with 2016. There is potential and it must be realized, because it’s in the interest of both countries. wink

      The "hypotheses" are different, but let's face it with the facts ...
      As for the pipes ... UP was originally on the verge of profitability! They don’t tell you about the media! New by topic: In the past year at the Russian-Bulgarian Economic Forum, the Russian side said that Russia is interested in the resumption of UP. We are talking about another route to Bulgaria, through the Crimea, which at 2 billion euro is cheaper than the original version.
      As for the sanctions ... Bulgarian exports to Russia until October 2017 amounted to 500 million euros. Which is by 13% more than in the whole 2016. For comparison, the total export of Bulgaria for 2016 amounted to a record 23,6 billion euro! 5 years already grows annually with 11%!

          In fact, there is no harmonious theory of the origin of the Slavs in the Balkans. For example, Karamzin wrote in the game that the ancestors of the Russians were noted in the united Roman Empire .. and the document cited. Then they took part in campaigns against Rome. Used them to open the tight construction of the Roman army. They didn’t know the cavalry, but they possessed the skills and abilities of contact fighting and were very clever. Since most trips to Rome were banal robbery ... our ancestors got their jackpot ... Karamzin separately noted that they were interested in tools and weapons .. jewelry not a priority, so they were easily parted, with difficulties on the way back. The way back just through the Balkans. Someone did not want to go to their native northern forests .. so they appeared in their usual forests. But in the mountains and much south. And now the question is ... what could have served them to do so? Laziness .. cunning .. and there was a natural selection .. Slavs .. in Russian .. and not really. But this is just a theory ... although over the years it seems to be a reality.

        . Even 30 years ago there was no such thing as a Turk! There were Turkic-speaking tribes, but this is not the same ...!
        And the Turk appeared later, for the further collapse of Russia under the influence of the idea of ​​the Turks.
        This is how the nationality of the Turks led to the collapse of the Ottoman Empire and the genocide of many who did not want to be a Turk!
        By the way, is Turk a race?
        My friend has a Turkic-speaking wife, but apparently she looks more like a Slav in comparison with a friend with whom even Kadyrov is Russian !!! And the comrade says that he is Russian, and his mother and father are Russian, and their ancestors

          Well, science does not stand still. I don’t know for sure .. but 30 years ago they didn’t say anything about the Turkic outcome .. Now it is believed that the ancestors developed somewhere in the region of Siberia and the Urals .. then there was an outcome .. through the steppes to Arabia, the Caucasus ... well, part came to Europe and the Slavic population was assimilated there; Bulgarians appeared.
          And where did the Turkic-speaking tribes come from? Who taught them this language?

      The answer is very simple and has always been before my eyes! Bulgarians are ALWAYS FOR RUSSIA, when she is for them! It is a normal, adequate reaction among the Bulgarians! Happened in history, Russian interests changed and sometimes came into conflict with the important, vital interests of Bulgaria. What can you do ... The world is so arranged. There is a millennial connection between our peoples and countries. Now, anti-Russian and anti-Bulgarian propaganda are conducting certain forces from foam to mouth, respectively, here and here. They emphasize the negative, deliberately forgetting that the positive is thousands of times more! You walk on the Russian-language forums! In Vesde, the same stamps dazzle - "in all wars they fought against us ...", the Bulgarians are traitors ... "," the Bulgarians are not Slavs, but Türks ... "etc. etc. ...

    This will happen, according to Pavlova, in January 2018, when Bulgaria will assume the presidency of the Council of the European Union.

    Does the EU have such powers?
    For reference. The sanctions were introduced unanimously by a joint decision of the EU foreign ministers. And the EU foreign ministers are appointed by agreement with the US State Department and cannot take decisions on their own without looking at Washington. Even if Bulgaria wants to lift the sanctions, the Minister of Foreign Affairs will vote against it, because they hold him for one place from another place, and in vain the Bulgarians think that his boss is in Sofia. In order to cancel something, you need 100% of the EU countries to have sovereignty and want this.

              It looks strange to you because you don’t know the details. When they laid UP, Gazprom was ready to pay "for all this." And when the sanctions started, Gazprom got a strain from the expenses. UP itself was more of a political project. Expensive and on the verge of profitability under certain conditions. But the conditions have changed. The management of Gazprom made a bunch of critical mistakes. The Russian media will not write about this. Of the thousands of materials in Russian media, I found only one more or less objective publication, and it came ... from Gazprom! It was later really removed from the company's website ... The topic is very extensive and it is unlikely that it should be unwound here. Maybe if I find the time, I will write and I am a statist. We will see ... hi

              On the technical side, there were also problems, but not significant. As hinted, some conditions have changed. This is after the Crimea joined. A new low-cost alternative has emerged, but so far is not applicable due to politics ... This is a hint to you ... Just look at the map ... wink Six months, as surveys of the bottom of the Black Sea go west of Crimea ... without noise ... bully It is true that everything there is connected with politics. The United States had a hand and put a stick in the wheels of UP. But by that time, the Russian Federation itself was looking for a way to leave it without image and financial losses ... So there was a pretext! Paradoxically, but at one point TEMPORARILY interests of the USA and the Russian Federation converge! Moreover, for opposite reasons! The topic is far from over. The solution through alternative options and in the moment are worked out. I suppose that before 2 of the year, to your surprise, the question is reanimated. bully

      Blooming, industrial country Bulgaria, after how your Gorbi and Yeltsin defeated our union, was at the bottom. It hurts right away. Industry and in general the entire industry of Bulgaria at 90% worked for the USSR. Almost 100% of the harsh and energy resources for it came from the USSR too. Having lost its market, the inefficient Bulgarian industry could not compete on market conditions. There was no money, no time for modernization. The USA additionally "helped" in its disposal. Only thanks to the entry of Bulgaria into the EU in 2007 did they manage to save what was left of it. Although the process of degradation was stopped with a creak, and over the last 5-6 years it began, albeit not by a large but quite acceptable rise. In Bulgaria there are still many who are dissatisfied with their lives. She's not easy. But people see and positive! There is no doubt such a thing and it is more than a negative! Therefore, the majority of them remain the adherents of EU membership. There is no other alternative at that stage for a country like Bulgaria, which is also located geographically in Europe.

      You are very wrong. It can be seen that you have no idea about the export figures of Bulgaria. As for wine and tobacco, everything is very good with him! The amount of wine has decreased in comparison with the period of socialism. But for that the quality has grown dramatically, from there the ego is the price! Revenues in foreign currency increased at times! Bulgarian grapes became more quality and they even started buying it for making their own wine brands in Greece and Romania. Never before in history did Bulgarian wines receive as many awards at international exhibitions as in recent years! In Russia, few people know that for 5 years in a row Bulgaria has been increasing export of products from 11%. In 2016, exports brought a record 23,6 billion euro! The production and export of electrical media and electronics are growing at the fastest pace. Bulgarian products are mainly sold in the EU, and throughout the world. In 1990, we had the currency of only 300 million $! And at the end of that year it was necessary to pay on loans 1 000 000 $! The country was bankrupt! Bulgaria now has 27,1 billion $ foreign exchange reserves! Break through! And we will cooperate with Russia, as this is in our common interests! Everything will be fine both for Bulgaria and Russia! good drinks
