site.btaCC Co-leader Petkov after GLOBSEC Forum: Kremlin's Interference in East European Countries' Home Affairs Is Huge Problem for Europe

In a Facebook post late on Monday, Continue the Change (CC) co-leader Kiril Petkov wrote: "Kremlin's disinformation and interference in the internal affairs of Eastern European countries is a huge problem for the whole of Europe. Attempts at destabilisation are made by activating local politicians and strengthening autocracy at the expense of democracy. All this is being done for one single purpose - to make Ukraine's victory more difficult and Europe weaker." In Petkov's words, these were some of the topics of his meetings with European leaders at the GLOBSEC conference in Bratislava on Monday. They discussed the problems in depth and exchanged experiences with former Slovakian prime minister Eduard Heger and with Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Olga Stefanishyna.

"All of us pro-European forces have a duty to stop this process and guarantee our citizens a European life, with strong and functioning institutions. Only together do we have a chance to oppose these destructive forces that want to impose a dictatorship in free countries that have long opted for democracy," Petkov also wrote.
