Borisov: We will not Recall Bulgarian Diplomats from Russia

While there is a "high probability", but there is no hard evidence, we can not discuss the recall of Bulgarian diplomats from Russia.

"We understand Theresa May's allegations of the" high probability "that the Russian Federation stands behind this attack," Borisov commented. "Yesterday I asked for more evidence - from" high probability "to become" full probability ", Borisov said

He also pointed out that United Patriots' coalition partners would not support the withdrawal of Bulgarian diplomats from Moscow.

"We all believe in Britain's position, but when there is an explanation there is also another explanation," Borisov said. He expressed concern that the dismissal of the EU ambassador to Moscow for consultations would cause further deterioration in relations between the two parties.

"I expect very rapid tensions in the coming weeks, because many countries will start to recall their ambassadors too," Borisov said.

"At the moment we are at a time which is much more difficult than the Cold War. There were very clear dividing lines during the Cold War, now the attitude of everyone is so sharp, so firm that I am not optimistic about the peaceful development of the world.
