There must be well-defined crisis management. The virus will still be here after 13 May. Are we still going to be in this same situation? We have to consider how to come out of the current situation safely and quickly, said President Rumen Radev.

On the occasion of world health day, the Bulgarian head of state paid a visit to Pirogov emergency hospital.

Unlike the MPs and cabinet ministers who intend to donate their salaries towards the end of the duration of the state of emergency, I did so at the beginning. I believe that making donations makes sense when it is done in time and when it is far from the cameras, President Radev commented.
