Scuffles broke out as livestock breeders attempted to storm the Ministry of Agriculture building in Sofia on Wednesday in opposition to the allocation of EU subsidies.
Supporters and members of the National Union of Bulgarian Farmers, who organised the protest, later marched on the Presidency building.
The recently adopted rules demand that a farm has at least 50 female sheep and 20 female goats to be entitled to receive funding, reports say. Furthermore, additional paperwork establishing the pedigree of the sheep and goats will also be required. This has prompted protesters to claim the rules are discriminatory.
