We have a ready law for the creation of a unified intelligence service, which will unite the State Intelligence Agency and the Military Intelligence, Atanas Atanasov, chairman of the parliamentary commission for special services, told 24 Chasa.

"A small country such as Bulgaria has two intelligence services that are often in unhealthy competition and are engaged in spying on each other. As a single counterintelligence body was created in the past and civilian and military counterintelligence were united, a single intelligence service should be created in a mirror manner," says Atanasov and calls for the use of Germany's experience in this area. 

The MP also wants to increase the funding of the operational activities of the services and strengthen the parliamentary control over their work.
