President Rumen Radev returned early from Estonia after serious diplomatic confusion. His official visit there ended after the hosts discovered through their own channels that he had already been in contact with a COVID-19 patient in Bulgaria.
Radev left for Tallinn on Monday to participate in the Three Seas Initiative summit. The forum was held online and the only physical participants were the heads of state of Bulgaria, Rumen Radev and Poland, Andrzej Duda, as well as the host, Kersti Kalulaid, President of Estonia.
On Tuesday and Wednesday, the Bulgarian president was going to pay an official visit to Estonia. However, it was canceled after it became known in Tallinn that Radev had been in contact with a coronavirus patient. The reason was reported for the first time by the Russian agency Interfax.
The news was officially confirmed by Estonian President Kaljulaid with a post on his official Facebook page.
