US embassy cable - 05SOFIA382

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

1. (SBU) The Bulgarian parliament passed a motion on 24 
February that will send an additional 30 troops to 
participate in the International Security Assistance 
Force (ISAF).  This will raise Bulgaria's total ISAF 
troop commitment to 65. Bulgaria also has 7 soldiers 
participating in Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF). 
 
2. (SBU) According to the Bulgarian Ministry of 
Defense, the new contingent will be made up of staff 
officers, an intelligence and counterintelligence 
group, a military police unit and a medical team.  The 
extra troops fulfill Bulgaria's commitments made during 
the NATO Force Generation Conference in November.
