Dr Rumena Filipova joined Bloomberg TV Bulgaria to discuss the latest geopolitical developments, from the Middle East and NATO to Europe’s security architecture and Bulgaria’s foreign policy direction.
- Among the key topics discussed:
- Why renewed US-Iran negotiations over Tehran’s nuclear programme remain likely despite heightened regional tensions;
- Why the outlook for NATO remains positive, with increased defence spending and stronger European support for Ukraine reinforcing the Alliance’s capabilities;
- Why Turkey’s continued balancing between the West, Russia and China raises questions about its reliability as a long-term NATO ally;
- How China’s expanding economic, scientific and diplomatic engagement in Europe presents growing strategic challenges for European countries; and
- Why Bulgaria needs a clearer geopolitical orientation, as recent policy signals suggest closer engagement with strategic competitors while drifting from its traditional Euro-Atlantic partners.
