Bulgaria To Buy NATO-Standard Belgium Frigate
By AGENCE FRANCE-PRESSE, SOFIA


The Bulgarian government March 17 approved the purchase for 23 million euros ($30.6 million) of a 20-year-old Belgium frigate, as the former communist state revamps its navy to comply with NATO standards, government spokesman Dimitar Tsonev said.

“The purchase will provide the Bulgarian navy with the operational capability to perform its tasks within NATO,” Tsonev said.

The frigate will be the first Bulgarian military ship to comply with NATO standards.
