He said that all possible options for the return of Bulgarian nationals are currently being explored, with their safety being the top priority. Premier Zhelyazkov added that there is coordination with Bulgaria’s diplomatic missions as well.''Our diplomats want to stay and work on the ground'', Rosen Zhelyazkov said.

Premier Zhelyazkov expressed concern about a potential escalation of the situation. ''The escalation of tensions and the emergence of hot conflicts, wars and hostilities is a cause for concern, since existing problems are not being solved, but new ones are being created'', said Premier Zhelyazkov and highlighted the importance of diplomacy.
