“If you want more details why this is so, you have to ask the manufacturer. As far as I know the idea is the reconstruction of their production and enhancement of their capacities to meet the needs of counties for even bigger shipments. I am expecting the country to be given compensations with bigger deliveries in the second half of February-March,” Ass. Professor Angel Kunchev explained.
