The question of the 4% increase in the gross domestic defense budgets proposed by US President Donald Trump on Wednesday at the NATO-led summit of state and government leaders should still to be discussed at a later stage. Nobody is talking about it yet

That's what Bulgarian state leader Rumen Radev told Bulgarian journalists in Brussels, who represents our country at the highest forum of the pact. Asked about the mood in the boardroom on Wednesday, he admitted that "it was not the most pleasant atmosphere." "All leaders are fundamentally confused, because everyone thinks what these four percent mean, and how serious President Trump is," Radev said. And he recalled: "The arguments are now on the moment to reach 2% of defense GDP." President Trump insisted on doing so on January 1 of next year. "

However , leaders of European countries have noted that it should be taken into account that parliamentary republics have the appropriate mechanisms to determine the budget. "Any re-equipment and re-equipment requires complicated and responsible procedures that take time, not to mention all the elements that make up the defense capabilities in preparation," recalled Radev

. Asked about the atmosphere of the talks on Thursday, President Radev pointed out that one day after the state confused, the tone calmed down. The development of each state's defense capabilities should not be seen as an external constraint, but as an awareness of the need, emphasized the head of state.

He highlighted the success of the NATO Summit. Member States must work to strengthen the defense capabilities of each and every one of them. "At the last meeting of the KSNC, I just put this issue and it is recorded as a decision that the national plan to reach two percent of the GDP for defense needs to be revised in September .I am confident that all these plans will be accelerated, "rejoices the president. He called for the increase in the contribution to be done "in a cautious manner". He also stressed that the most important thing is to increase the defense capabilities of each country not to be perceived as coercion from the outside, but to realize the need.

Bulgaria is ready to financially support the activity of the clergy of the constitutionally recognized religious communities of our country. This is what President Radev said at a meeting with his Turkish counterpart, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, at the NATO summit. And thanked Ankara for helping the salaries of Muslim clerics during the years when Bulgaria did not have such an opportunity. The two presidents agreed that the $ 5.5 billion trade announced for 2017 did not match the capabilities of both countries. According to Erdogan, it is realistic to reach $ 10 billion
