The new task force should be subordinate to the Bulgarian Ministry of Culture and the Ministry of Interior and be similar to the French service for protection of cultural values ​​and the Carabinieri Command for the Protection of Cultural Property in Italy, explained Minister Minekov.

The ministry has set up working groups to develop draft amendments to the Cultural Heritage Act and Film Industry Act, added caretaker minister Minekov and voiced hopes that the new National Assembly would adopt the amendments.
