The new sanctions under the Magnitsky Act are a signal to President Rumen Radev who said that Bulgaria would not accept European sanctions against Russia in the field of nuclear energy, former Foreign Minister Nadezhda Neynsky has told BNR.

She added that the security of NATO and the EU was directly related to what was happening in Bulgaria, but such a reaction made the country seem like an unreliable partner. "It's no secret that the biggest corruption schemes in our country exist in the nuclear energy sphere, which is linked to Russia," Nadezhda Neynsky added. According to her, corruption tools are Russia's strongest weapon for destabilizing Bulgaria and the Balkans.

"Our country has a systemic problem with corruption, which has distorted the way our institutions work," she said in conclusion.
