Premier of Bulgaria referred to "MiG"

Bulgarian Prime Minister Boyko Borisov told reporters in the parliament building, said that negotiations with the three countries for the purchase of fighter planes, said "military parity" with reference to Novinite (7 July).

Need to buy new planes, not used, he said. Borisov said that the new aircraft manufactured by companies engaged in the assembly of the F-16, Eurofighter, Gripen and "MiG" (MiG).

Premier added that the government will speed up the negotiations, as the deal requires a very high cost and the rush is irrelevant here.
