Bulgaria's Prime Minister Nikolay Denkov invited the grain growers to a meeting, which is expected to take place today. In his words, it is up to those employed in the grain industry to continue the dialogue.

"The protest of the grain growers scheduled for September 18 against Bulgaria’s decision to lift the ban on imports of grain from Ukraine is increasingly political in nature, but the government will not succumb to this blackmail", the Prime Minister said on Friday. He reiterated the government's position that the decision is good for Bulgaria’s economy and does not affect the grain sector.
