Bulgaria’s Ministry of Tourism is ready to discuss possibilities to accommodate Ukrainian citizens. The state will pay the accommodation costs, this country’s Minister of Tourism Hristo Prodanov explained in an interview for the BNR.

“I have discussed this topic a week ago in a private conversation with Bulgaria’s Premier, when fears about a military conflict began growing. If such a political decision is made, we must look for ways to help civilians. We are holding talks with Bulgarian hoteliers to tell how we will pay for the stay of these citizens in Bulgarian hotels. The costs will be covered by the state”, Minister Prodanov clarified.
