17.05.2006 Sot ėshtė shekulli i njėzet e njė, ne jetojmė nė njė botė tė mbushur me shqetėsime, por edhe me premtimin mė tė madh pėr tė ardhmen. Ėshtė njė botė e pėrfshirė nga ndryshimi, e kėrcėnuar nga mundėsia tmerruese e luftės atomike dhe nga sulmi shkatėrrues i teknologjisė moderne mbi mjedisin natyror. Megjithatė, ne kemi mundėsi pėr tė kontrolluar jetėn tonė, gjė e cila do te kishte qenė e pa imagjinueshme pėr brezat e mėparshėm. E, nė kėtė progres e regres tė tė jetuari dhe tė perceptuari individi do fuqi sikur do tė jetė pėrjetėsisht dhe jo sikur ėshtė i pėrkohshėm nė kėtė jetė. Periudhat e zhvillimit dhe integrimit tė kombeve duke kaluar shumė sisteme kanė ndalur tashmė dhe janė fokusuar tek demokracia si e vetmia rrugė e cila do t’iu siguroj shteteve nė pėrgjithėsi dhe njerėzimit nė veēanti, prosperitet dhe qetėsin e shumė dėshiruar.

Militari bulgari - da Osservatorio sui Balcani
08.05.2006 Il Segretario di Stato Condoleezza Rice e il ministro degli Esteri bulgaro Ivaylo Kalfin hanno firmato un accordo di cooperazione militare durante l'incontro informale dei ministri degli Esteri dei paesi aderenti alla Nato, tenutosi a Sofia il 28 aprile scorso. L'accordo riguarda il dispiegamento di forze militari americane in tre basi che si trovano sul territorio bulgaro: le aviobasi di Bezmer (nei pressi di Yambol, nella Bulgaria sud-orientale), Graf Ignatievo (a pochi chilometri da Plovdiv) e il poligono di Novo Selo (vicino a Sliven), oltre ai depositi militari che si trovano a Aitos, non lontano dalla cittą portuale di Burgas. Per la prima volta nella sua storia truppe straniere saranno dispiegate stabilmente in Bulgaria. L'accordo prevede l'uso congiunto delle basi ed ha durata di dieci anni. Ogni sei mesi, a rotazione, verrą ospitato un contingente di militari americani di 2500 unitą, a partire dal 2007 o dal 2008. Gli Usa non pagheranno nessun affitto per l'uso delle basi, ma dovranno sostenere le spese operative e di manutenzione - riporta Tanya Mangalakova per l'Osservatorio sui Balcani. Il partito nazionalista “Ataka” ha dimostrato in piazza il suo forte scetticismo verso la presenza di truppe americane nel paese.
