Former colleagues of Prof. Todor Kantardzhiev have organised a protest in front of the National Center for Infectious and Parasitic Diseases. They call for reinstating the expert who has recently been sent in retirement.
A petition has been uploaded on the website of the center. It is open to anyone who wants to support it, organizers said. In addition to the online petition, signatures are also collected at the entrance of the institution.
