Last update: 8 hours agoBlack Sea Security: Drone attacks on commercial ships near Bulgaria and Romania have intensified pressure on NATO, with seven sailors missing after two vessels caught fire off Romania and 11 missing from an earlier sinking near Bulgaria. Sofia says Russia is the likely suspect but lacks conclusive proof; Prime Minister Rumen Radev has summoned the Russian ambassador, while Bulgaria and Romania seek stronger NATO counter-drone measures and a joint maritime security hub. Budget and Wages: Bulgaria submitted its first euro-area budget plan to Brussels, targeting a 4.3% deficit in 2027, down from an expected 5% this year. The government’s proposed €660 minimum wage has drawn union opposition: CITUB wants €690 and plans a Sofia protest motorcade on Friday. Culture and Science: Sofia’s CineLibri book-and-film festival has opened with 75 films and more than 40 events. Plovdiv’s Science Festival returns October 22–25 with talks, workshops and performances.
