"We are in a pandemic, in a situation that the world has not seen since World War II. Medical systems are under stress and victims are thousands. A crisis of this dimension requires a strong, coordinated, broad-based and coherent global response." This is what Prime Minister Boyko Borisov said at an international virtual donor conference organized by the European Commission to provide funds to combat the pandemic.

Bulgaria welcomes the initiative and provides 100,000 euros for the creation and global introduction of the Covid-19 vaccine, PM Borisov added.
