Proprietarii de flote de pescuit din Bulgaria cer ajutor din partea statului din cauza atacurilor rusești în Marea Neagră

Due to escalating tensions in the Black Sea, the fishing sector is facing major challenges, prompting calls for state assistance. Many large fishing vessels are reluctant to go out to sea, with crews either refusing to navigate or limiting their activities to coastal fishing. The disappearance of fish is attributed to potential explosions and sunken ships. The Bulgarian fishing fleet consists of 1,740 vessels, with concerns about encountering mines or drones. Processing companies report a significant drop in catch, leading to rising fish prices. Similar issues are observed in Romania, with fishermen hesitant to venture out. Calls for government support are being made under the state aid regime for force majeure circumstances.
