During the bilateral consultations, Assistant Minister Bandić and Brigadier General Lyubomir Monov, Director of the Defence Policy and Planning Directorate of the Ministry of Defence of Bulgaria, analysed the political and security situation in the region, as well as the results achieved so far and further directions for the development of cooperation in the field of defence.
