1) Bulgaria Will Get Nod For NATO Accession Only If It Supports US War Against Iraq 2) Bulgaria Considers Granting Bilateral Base, Stationing Rights To US Military 3) George Bush: Bulgarians, Other Eastern Europeans, 'Love America' http://www.online.bg/ASP/wwwbgweb2.asp?mode=article&artdate=2003/3/5&artno=35 Bulgaria Online March 5, 2003 Bulgaria "Gets into NATO if Support for US Is Preserved" A Bulgarian government official told the BBC that the country's ratification for NATO entry looks a sure matter if Sofia preserves its support for the United States. According to Deputy Foreign Minister Lyubomir Todorov in case Bulgaria continues to back the policies of the US and NATO, it is unlikely for the country to stumble over hurdles in the ratification process. To become a part of the alliance in 2004 as planned, Bulgaria must have its accession protocols signed by all nineteen members and ratified by their parliaments. The ratofication in US Senate is usua;lly regarded as the most difficult to obtain. Bulgaria's envoy to the United Nations said there was no compromise looming in the Security Council on Iraq. According to, US Secretary of State Colin Powell, nine to ten countries that sit on the security watchdog will back the draft resolution tabled by Washington, London, Madrid. Many commentators say Bulgaria is a stable supporter of the fresh resolution. However, the country has not yet announced any position on the issue. ------------------------------------------------------- http://www.online.bg/ASP/wwwbgweb2.asp?mode=article&artdate=2003/3/5&artno=4 Bulgaria Online March 5, 2003 Bulgaria does not rule out bilateral deal with USA on bases [Announcer] The question of the setting up of military bases by NATO members on Bulgarian territory will be placed on the agenda only after the country has become a full member of the alliance, Foreign Ministry spokesman Lyubomir Todorov said. Diyana Chepisheva has filed this report: [Chepisheva] Lyubomir Todorov explained that NATO would probably apply a new concept regarding the structuring of its military forces. It will reflect the new threats and optimize the security system. We will become part of this structure only when we become members of NATO. We would then be able to propose the deployment of foreign bases in Bulgaria, the Foreign Ministry spokesman said. He went on to add that the official practice was for NATO to ask its member for the setting up of military bases on their territory. Lyubomir Todorov explained that a bilateral agreement, such as one on the setting up of US bases in Bulgaria, was not very likely, but could not be ruled out altogether.... ------------------------------------------------------- http://www.online.bg/ASP/wwwbgweb2.asp?mode=article&artdate=2003/3/5&artno=16 Bulgaria Online February 5, 2003 Bush: Bulgarians Love America "I know that many Europeans love America.
