"Our employees have done a perfect job. We are not obliged to know Greek," the health inspectorate said, BNR correspondent Katie Trencheva reported.

An order from the Minister of Health states that when entering Bulgaria, both Bulgarians and citizens from other EU countries must present negative PCR or antigen tests written in Latin and performed in licensed laboratories.
