Bulgaria is going to receive EU financial assistance totaling 2.9 million euros in order to fight the spread of African swine fever. This has become clear after a meeting in Brussels of Agriculture Minister Desislava Taneva and EU Commissioner for Health and Food Safety Vytenis Andriukaitis. The country also expects 11 million euros in emergency aid to compensate for the already eliminated outbreaks of swine fever, BNT has reported.

According to the Bulgarian Food Safety Agency, mandatory measures for the preventive culling of domestic pigs have been introduced in 23 of all 28 districts in the country.
