US Wants Full Access to Bulgarian Military Bases

Jeebus, the unmitigated gall of these guys...

The United States demand that Bulgaria grants them unlimited access to Bulgaria's military bases and equipment, and Bulgaria does not agree, Angel Naydenov, Head of the Parliamentary Defence Committee has said.

Negotiations concerning US military bases on our turf still haven't been concluded, Naydenov explained for private Nova television. Three negotiation stages have been so far completed since October of 2005, and Bulgaria is currently very close to the finish, he explained.

However, major disagreements rise around the conditions of access to the bases. While Bulgaria wants guarantees that these facilities would not be used without its consent, the US demand full access. They also want to apply their own jurisdiction and laws when an American violates the law on Bulgarian grounds. Bulgarians do not agree on that point and this has stalled the negotiations for a while.

Should both sides reach an agreement, the US would pay for the use and maintenance of the facilities and invest in military infrastructure, but all bases will be under a Bulgarian flag. There is no guarantee that such an agreement would be reached at all, Naydenov warned, and added that no concrete deadlines have been set for concluding the negotiations.
