Most of the younger people in our country really do hate our past relationships with Russia, and are against their intervention in our politics, business and so on. The fact, that they conquered us in 1945 led us to 3 national bankrupcies, which kept people poor and the people in power very wealthy. 23 years later we haven’t recovered from this damage. So don’t say that we are in best relationship with Russia out of other ‘slavic’ countries !!!

Hi SS,

your observation is correct. Despite the fact that there are many people in Bulgaria who dont like or even hate the Russians, the big majority of the Bulgarians will never forget all the russian soldiers who fought and died in Bulgaria, sacrificing their lives for the liberation of our country. For the most of the Bulgarians Russians were, are and will be our “братушки” (bratushki – brothers).

Republika Srpska (Bosnian Serb entity) is probably the most pro-Russian on the Balkans.

opinions are divided in Montenegro and Serbia, but relations with Russia are relatively good

““If you run after two rabbits, you won’t catch neither”, I wonder if they heard something about it, the “deals” with the EU about Kosovo were really pretty laughable. Thanks for the insight anyway.”

ironically. the government that in 1998 fought for Kosovo is now in the process of recognizing Kosovo as an independent country, in order to get a date for EU negotiations (reportedly in January)…

Believe me, i have pretty good reason to believe that a Panther is currently being restored. For now i dont have much more to say but hopefully SS will allow me to make an article in a few months about the museum in Jambol and some vehicles being restored. :)

Fun fact – the meeting with the british in Austria ended with a football match. The result was a draw 1:1

Sadly this is not correct, as no panther tanks have been recovered in Bulgaria yet.
