Our American partners are quite well informed, quite aware that once again a political stalemate has occurred in Bulgaria. Now we have something like a government, it's not quite a government, because it's resigned, we have something like elections that are coming up, which we don't know if they will have any effect on this.
This was said in the program "Bulgaria, Europe and the World in Focus" on Radio "Focus" by the co-owner of "Gallup International" Petar Kicashki.
"Our partners are quite aware that here, as usual, we watch things happen as people do, and they happen as usual. So, in general, this is a rather unpleasant development for Bulgaria, because I think it was the right decision for Bulgaria to join the Peace Council, we had nothing to lose by joining this process and participating on an equal footing with the many countries that create this Peace Council. We decided to do something like nothing, to sign, but not to ratify. This is probably a traditional, by the way, Bulgarian diplomacy, wrong position," said Petar Kicashki.
And he added: "We are both with one camp, and we are trying not to anger the other. And this is a position that is one of the reasons why Bulgaria was one of the few countries to lose both world wars and a country that often fell into a situation of national catastrophe, this is due to our traditional geopolitical indecision."
According to him, Washington traditionally does not like "unreliable" partners, preferring those with clear positions.
"I know very well how the machinery in Washington works and I can tell you that one of the things that Washington does not like the most, regardless of whether the administration is Republican or Democratic, but the things that Washington does not like the most are partners that are unreliable, who cannot be trusted in long-term commitments. In Washington, countries that frankly and directly say - no", Kicashki also commented.
