US military troops using the local training bases in Graf Ignatievo and Bezmer will start upgrade works financed by the budgets of NATO and the US defence ministry. According to information of the Bulgarian defence ministry quoted by Dnevnik daily, the total amount of investments is expected to reach some EUR 50mn. Most of the financing is earmarked for improving the aviation infrastructure in the two military bases. The deal between the Bulgarian and US governments also allows US troops to use the training ground in Novo Selo.
