The Bulgarian Agrarian Chamber and the government are expected to sign an agreement on the measures that will be implemented by the state to support farmers. The signing of the memorandum puts an end to their protest actions. 

However, more than 20 agricultural organizations, including livestock breeders and greenhouse producers, continue to protest. They will present a statement detailing their demands at a press conference. Some of them also want the resignation of Minister of Agriculture Kiril Vatev. He announced that on February 12 he is to have a meeting with representatives of two of the organizations.

"We continue the protest, but we are ready for compromises and basically want to move the deadlines for payment of subsidies a month earlier." Ivan Gyurov, deputy chairman of the United Agricultural Producers Association, has told BNR.
