HUMANITARIAN AID FOR THE ETHNIC BULGARIANS IN UKRAINE

Bulgaria’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs is preparing a decision for provision of humanitarian assistance to the ethnic Bulgarians in the conflict-affected areas in Ukraine, the Foreign Minister, Daniel Mitov, said during Parliamentary Control session on 13th of February.

The form and the manner of provision of the humanitarian aid are in a process of clarification.

A possibility to enhance the ethnic Bulgarians’ access to Bulgarian radios and television through gratuitous distribution of Bulgarian media is being discussed.

Options for joint Bulgarian-Ukrainian initiatives in the areas of culture and education are being explored, as well as projects under Bulgaria’s communication strategy.
