The Bulgarian Parliament approved the temporary deployment of up to eight US KC-135 refueling aircraft and 250 armed personnel at Bezmer Air Base until October 2026. The resolution passed after extensive debate, with 135 votes in favor and some opposition. Defense Minister Stoianov emphasized that this decision is necessary for national security and does not compromise Bulgaria's sovereignty.
