Position
30 May 2024 News
With regard to Bulgaria's participation in the vote on the resolution commemorating the 30th anniversary of the Srebrenica genocide, we submit the following position:
Bulgaria has a consistent and unchanged position in recognising the victims of Srebrenica and has participated in all initiatives related to their commemoration.
The dynamics of the diplomatic service and the formation of a position are linked to a number of ‘working’ options that are constantly evolving in the process of forming our country's national position. The official position is important, and it is arrived at following the opinions of experts from the line structural units of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which include various communication channels.
The circulated letter to the Permanent Mission of Bulgaria to the UN in New York does not contain the final instructions to Ambassador Lachezara Stoeva.
The leaked documents are only part of the decision-making process and do not represent its entirety. This only creates ground for speculation, interpretation and manipulation on the subject.
The leaking of official correspondence and its indiscriminate dissemination in the public domain can only be described as an element of a hybrid attack.
The subject is being used politically in the context of an election campaign, and this is damaging to Bulgaria's interests.
The caretaker government firmly dissociates itself from any attempts to make suggestions related to changing Bulgaria's geopolitical orientation. By its actions, the government proves on a daily basis that our country steadfastly follows its European path and perspective.
