However, Bulgaria remembers the bloodshed in the Balkans in recent years, as I am sure many of the principal powers in this region do, and does not wish to enter such a conflict that would repeat these horrifying events and inflict further hardship upon its people. Despite our previous diplomatic inclination and recent influence from the great powers of both sides, Bulgaria is to pursue a strong policy of neutrality. Vasil Radoslavov - Prime Minister of Bulgaria
