From today until September 12, NATO and Bulgaria will hold one of the world’s largest and most complex emergency management exercises — BULGARIA 2025, the Ministry of Interior announced. It will be hosted by the Professional Training Centre for first responders in Montana, Northwestern Bulgaria.

The exercise aims to strengthen participants' capacity to manage natural and industrial disasters, hybrid threats, complex emergencies, and to test procedures for logistical support of a country receiving international aid. Around 1,200 participants from over 40 countries will take part at the exercise.

BULGARIA 2025 is organized jointly by the Directorate General for Fire Safety and Civil Protection of Bulgaria's Ministry of Interior, NATO's Euro-Atlantic Disaster Response Coordination Centre (EADRCC) and NATO's Crisis Management and Disaster Response Centre of Excellence (CMDR COE) in Bulgaria, reported BGNES.
