The forest fires registered from the beginning of the year have been 297, covering about 200 decares of forests, Vladimir Konstantinov, an expert of the Executive Forests Agency, told Focus Radio's Good Morning, Bulgaria. In his words, a fire danger season has been declared in 24 regions. In 2018, forest fires were only 222, and the size of the affected areas was not large, he said.

Grigor Gogov, head of the Executive Forests Agency, has informed that Bulgaria plans to restrict its wood exports.

In a Sunday interview for the Bulgarian National Radio (BNR), Gogov noted that the efforts of the Executive Forests Agency over the next few years would focus on afforestation.
