Middle Corridor: Can Bulgaria be a safe gateway for Asian imports to the EU?

Bulgaria has been targeted by drone attacks on commercial ships off its coast, highlighting security risks for the country's potential role as a gateway for Asian imports to the European Union. This incident raises concerns about the safety of trade routes, particularly the Middle Corridor, which the EU is promoting to increase trade with Asia. The security risks could impact Bulgaria's ability to capitalize on this opportunity, potentially limiting its economic benefits.

Why it matters

The EU's push for more trade via the Middle Corridor could bring significant benefits to Bulgaria. However, the recent drone attacks on commercial ships off the Bulgarian coast may pose a risk to this trade route.
