- Surplus T-55 tanks sold to Ethiopia and Uganda. A Human Rights Watch report on Bulgaria's arms trade says that by the end of 1998 the government had sold 140 surplus T-55 tanks to Ethiopia and Uganda at a profit of US$4.4 million and had a deal pending for eighty more. The same report says the defense minister was quoted at the time as saying, "We are selling and will be selling these [surplus] weapons." In a footnote the report notes that the announcement of February 1999 about donating 150 tanks and 150 artillery pieces to the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia was repeated by Georgi Ananiev at a press conference at the Bulgarian Embassy in Washington on 3 March 1999. — Human Rights Watch
