After NATO's defence ministers' meeting in Brussels, Minister Todor Tagarev announced that a structure for combating disinformation will be set up within the Defence Ministry, BNR's correspondent in Brussels reports. No new specialists will be hired for this purpose, but those already working there will be used after they receive additional training.
