Bulgaria’s Minister of Interior Minister Daniel Mitov announced with a post on the social networks that the General Directorate for Combating Organized Crime is working on identifying websites selling vapes with drugs. "They are looking for a systematic solution to solve this problem and prevent such substances from entering the country", Daniel Mitov said after an operation that led to the shutdown of two websites selling vapes.

Minister Mitov also added that there are people in the country who mix such substances and distribute them, but promised that they will be caught.

"The distribution of drugs and narcotic substances among children and adolescents is definitely a very worrying trend, not only for me as Interior Minister, but for the entire society. This is a direct threat to the health and future of the younger generation, and the fight against this vicious business requires firm and decisive measures", Minister Mitov emphasized.
