The Reaction of the Central European Initiative
and the Bulgarian Government
on the Russian Aggression Against Ukraine
During the Bulgarian Presidency Held
in the CEI in 2022
The Initiative’s reaction on the war in Ukraine is decisive. The initiative issued
a number of statements condemning Russia’s military actions. It also decided to suspend
Belarus from CEI membership rights due to the country’s involvement in the war. Moreover,
CEI provided material and financial assistance to Ukraine. The activities of the Initiative
prove that the Initiative performs many important tasks for the security and stability
of Central and Eastern Europe and effectively responds to the challenges that Europe
is currently facing. However, Bulgaria’s position on this issue has been divided since the
beginning of the Russian aggression. The lack of consensus among political parties at
the level of declarations causes some problems with direct aid to this country.
