The remaining BGN 125 million (EUR 63.9 million) under the so-called ''Ukrainian aid'' will be paid by the end of November, caretaker Deputy Premier and Minister of Finance Lyudmila Petkova told journalists after a meeting with representatives of the agricultural sector affected by the import of agricultural products from Ukraine, reported BTA. Minister Petkova reminded that since the funds were not included in the 2024 budget, restructuring was necessary to provide the aid.

After the government approved an additional BGN 200 million (EUR 102 million) for the budget of the State Fund Agriculture for 2024, these funds are already in the farmers’ bank accounts, said caretaker Minister of Agriculture and Food Georgi Tahov.
