The Bulgarian Food Safety Agency announced that the lamb meat from North Macedonia sold on the Bulgarian market is safe and meets all EU standards. It is accompanied with veterinary health certificates issued by the competent authorities in the Republic of North Macedonia. The lamb was imported in Bulgaria from Greece, because the border checkpoints for veterinary inspection generating the necessary veterinary documents were built on Greek territory, the Bulgarian Food Safety Agency points out. Earlier, the Bulgarian farmers called on the competent authorities to check the lamb meat imported from North Macedonia which is sold 20% cheaper than the Bulgarian lamb.
