Today Parliament will hear from Prime Minister Nikolay Denkov and Defence Minister Todor Tagarev. They will answer questions on the Prime Minister's visit to Ukraine. 

The hearing is at the request of the Bulgarian Socialist Party (BSP). The socialists tabled a motion asking Denkov to explain his statement that Bulgaria would consider signing a bilateral security agreement with Ukraine. The BSP asked Denkov to clarify whether this meant that Bulgaria was prepared to send troops.

"We will not send soldiers to Ukraine, this issue is not under discussion in our country. Our position is clear," Defence Minister Todor Tagarev told bTV on February 28. Earlier, Prime Minister Nikolai Denkov had made a similar statement.
