<\/span>Online event<\/strong><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

BOLD (Bulgarian Community for Liberal Democracy) and the Foreign Policy Council “Ukrainian Prism” (Kyiv) invite you to a panel discussion aimed at clarifying past and present dependencies on Russia in various sectors of the Bulgarian economy and how these have been changing because of Russia\u2019s war in Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the second event in the “Bulgarian Roads in the Shadow of War” series, in which we analyze the impact of the war on Bulgaria. This time, we will present the results of a research project entitled \u201cThe Russian Octopus in the Black Sea Region: Identifying Vulnerable Areas – Strengthening Resilience\u201d and implemented by the Foreign Policy Council \u201cUkrainian Prism\u201d, with consultancy assistance of BOLD experts for the Bulgarian chapter, and with the financial support of the European Union and the Black Sea Trust for Regional Cooperation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The massive geopolitical turmoil resulting from the war in Ukraine is also changing Bulgaria. Panelists will discuss the economic, financial and energy consequences of the war, and how they all affect liberal democratic institutions and values. After decades of Russian presence in Bulgaria, how can we choose economic and energy policies that are best for Bulgaria, and how does the \u2018best\u2019 look like? Is it possible to improve the normative environment that supports Bulgarian institutions in rejecting corrupt practices and dependencies? Are there political, normative, or institutional mechanisms for state monitoring and control of Russian representative offices and companies in the country that pose a threat to national security and independence? Should the state take control of strategic sites on our territory linked in various ways to the Putin regime? Is there a toolkit for tracking and illuminating financial flows from Russian sources to Bulgaria, including to strategic sectors of the economy, the media, political and social organizations?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
