Prime Minister Nicolae Ciuca will attend on Monday a meeting of the Heads of Government of the NATO states in South-Eastern Europe, organized in Sofia.

According to a government press release, the meeting will be hosted by the Prime Minister of the Republic of Bulgaria, Kiril Petkov.

"Tomorrow's meeting will provide an opportunity to deepen consultations on the consequences of Russia's invasion of Ukraine and security in South-Eastern Europe.

The plenary session will address issues related to how the Russian invasion of Ukraine will affect regional security in the short, medium and long term, as well as ways to strengthen coordination and cooperation in South-Eastern Europe, Agerpres.ro informs.
