Prime Minister Kiril Petkov declared he has not assumed a commitment to Vazrazhdane party that the green certificate will be abolished.

He stated that there will be a working group, headed by virologist Prof. Radka Argirova, set up for discussions between the people protesting against the green certificates and experts from the Ministry of Health with the aim of establishing a dialogue on the basis of genuine medical data.
