Romanian Defense Minister Angel Tilvar and his Bulgarian counterpart Todor Tagarev signed today a letter of intent to create a Regional Command of the Special Operations Component.

Bucharest.- The ministers met in the corridors of the NATO summit in Vilnius, the Romanian Defense Ministry reported in a note published on its website.

The Romanian minister thanked his Bulgarian counterpart for the constant support for regional security and participation in military projects in the field of multinational exercises, adds the note, spread by the Russian news agency Sputnik. (PL)
