Grain producers, dissatisfied with MPs decision to waive the ban on imports of Ukrainian produce, have sent a letter to Prime Minister Nikolai Denkov, stating that they refused to meet with him, he told BNT. The prime minister invited them to a meeting today, a day before their mass protests are due to begin. 

Nikolai Denkov reiterated his support for the parliament's decision on Ukrainian grain. He stressed that his country had no problem with the import of three of the four grains from Ukraine, except for sunflower and unrefined cooking oil. Therefore, the state was ready to support producers who would suffer from the restored imports. 

According to the Prime Minister, the farmers' demands are general, do not address their real problems and are very far from reality.
