In 2020, Bulgaria reports a double decline in the incidence of African swine fever in animals as compared to 2019. This was stated by Bulgaria's Minister of Agriculture Desislava Taneva at a video conference of EU agriculture ministers, the ministry announced. She stressed that Bulgaria joined the position of the Czech Republic and Poland on reducing the administrative burden associated with co-financing the costs related to coping with the disease.

Taneva has demanded that EU Member States should be able to partially apply the stamping out method which means that when a sick animal is found, it should be destroyed together with the animals that have been in contact with it only within the area of the respective farm where the infection was found.
