Bulgarian Posts have started training a total of 3,000 employees in 2,230 post offices in connection with the adoption of the euro in Bulgaria and the exchange of levs for euros. This was what Stanimir Belinov, deputy director of the company, said. 

"This is a very important moment for us to prevent any subsequent attempts at fraud," Belinov pointed out. "We paid close attention to the different types of counterfeits, both in banknotes and coins. Of course, we also paid attention to the lev, since the circulation of counterfeit lev will increase to the maximum by the end of the year," the deputy director of Bulgarian Posts also said.
