The business approves the gradual easing of restrictive measures taken due to the pandemic, Tsvetan Simeonov, chairman of the Bulgarian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, has told BTA.

Bulgarians are reasonable and if morbidity started rising, they would agree to tighten the measures again. However, there has been a decline in the number of new coronavirus cases and restrictions could be eased, he added. There are protests against the restrictions not only in Bulgaria - they are a reasonable response of the industry, said Tsvetanov on the occasion of planned protests of restaurateurs who call for the opening of restaurants in the beginning of February.
