Bulgarian Veterinary Union to Stage National Protest

Bulgarian Veterinary Union will stage a protest over the lack of clear strategy for the veterinary services in the country, Thursday.

The protest under the slogan 'Lack of strategy, organization and management of the veterinary services' will take place in front of the Bulgarian Food Safety Agency head office, Dnevnik reports.

Veterinarians claim that the inadequate measures taken by the government and the Food Safety Agency have led to the dissemination of infectious animal diseases.

The demands of the Veterinary Union include the revocation of all illegal orders of the Food Agency executive director, the establishment of a national veterinary agency operating under the Agriculture Ministry instead of the Food Agency.

Vets insist that the veterinary administration face responsibility for committing violations which led to the current state of the veterinary medicine in the country, Bulgaria's National Radio informs.
