We are not faced with the dilemma whether to support the European Union's 11th package of sanctions against Russia. Bulgaria will support the sanctions as usual. The 11th package of sanctions is aimed at limiting the possibilities of circumventing the existing sanctions, caretaker Minister of Economy Nikola Stoyanov said in Parliament.
