Bulgaria’s Premier Rosen Zhelyazkov convened an emergency meeting at the Council of Ministers on Saturday dedicated to the issue of food prices. On February 13, some Bulgarians participated in a boycott of food retail chains. Measures for protecting the rights of Bulgarian consumers and calming the market are discussed at the meeting. "As a government, we will not get carried away by populism, but we will do what is necessary for the normal functioning of the market", said Rosen Zhelyazkov before the meeting.

''There is clearly a problem in supply chains and this is due to practices that need to be identified by the Antimonopoly Authority, the National Revenue Agency and the National Customs Agency'', Premier Zhelyazkov went on to say. In his words, the endless number of intermediaries affects both producers and consumers.
