The Minister of Interior Boyko Rashkov Opened a Round Table Conference on the Volunteer Formations - Important and Valuable Part in the Fight against Disasters and Fires

"I welcome the updated Strategy and the plans to pay more attention to the voluntary participation of civil society in the future, to mobilize those who want to help because we all see that we live in a changed world with more and more frequent disasters, climate changes and various other surprising events, said Dr. Sofia Stoimenova and outlined: "As an organization that has been working with volunteers for years and has trained volunteer formations we with our experience want to be partners and will help creating more and more volunteer formations. I would like to emphasize that we have had very good cooperation with the Fire Safety and Population Protection Directorate General over the years, we have held a lot of training on the interaction of the different teams in the rescue system and this should continue."
