A new International Centre for Wildlife Disease Control will be built in Bulgaria. An agreement was signed recently for the establishment of this center at a ceremony in Pravets. Signatures under the document put the Minister of Agriculture and Food Dr. Miroslav Naydenov and President of CIC, Bernard Lozé. The event was attended by Director General of the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) Bernard Vallat.
Equipment and technical assistance will be provided by the CIC, while Bulgarian government will participate in this project by providing a building,
Bulgaria is the best place for building an international center for control over wildlife diseases, because Bulgaria is known for its good attitude towards game, CIC President, Bernard Lozé said after signing an agreement about the center construction.
I would like to express our great gratitude to the Bulgarian government for receiving this center. In this way we establish very good contacts between the organizations, Bernard Lozé told journalists.
“The relations between Bulgaria and CIC date back to long, long ago. When OIE Director General Bernard Vallat, professor, president of the commission for Europe, and I discussed the Bulgarian government’s proposal to build a center and we decided that Bulgaria is the best place for it, most of all because Bulgaria is a good example and good place which has a good attitude to game and these traditions date back to years ago,” said Bernard Lozé.
