In Premier Borissov’s words, the disease brings enormous losses to the affected and can affect entire economies and trade partnerships. Premier Borissov voiced hopes that soon the European Commission will start reimbursing the costs Bulgaria made to deal with various animal diseases. Boyko Borissov noted that so far the Bulgarian authorities have allotted over EUR 13 million to combat African swine fever.
