Caretaker Prime Minister Dimitar Glavchev stated in plenary that the situation concerning the wildfires is serious but that, for now, we do not need any additional help. “The EU’s Civil Protection Mechanism is quite enough,” he added.

There is an operational headquarters in this country which makes the judgement when the EU Civil Protection Mechanism should be activated and when we should ask for help from another member country, the prime minister said further. Thanks to our firefighters, military personnel, forest rangers, volunteers we have been coping with the fires breaking out comparatively quickly, Dimitar Glavchev said, and added no country can cope in a situation like this by itself.  

PM Glavchev stated further that the operational headquarters is in coordination with the authorities in Greece and in North Macedonia where there are fires raging as well.
