Sofia: Bulgaria is planning to build a complex of facilities to accommodate a multinational NATO brigade of 3,000 military personnel, the Bulgarian News Agency reported on Saturday, citing Defence Minister Atanas Zapryanov.
The complex, housing residential, educational and sports facilities, will be located in the Kabile military district near the southeastern city of Yambol, the news agency reported. The report said that ammunition would be stored in warehouses at a distance from the residential settlements and barracks.
“Neither ammunition nor other dangerous materials are planned to be stored (in the complex),” Zapryanov was quoted as saying.
Bulgaria is currently in talks with the NATO Support and Procurement Agency to determine the cost of the construction, the report added.
