The traditional military parade on occasion of the Bulgarian Armed Forces Day on May 6 will not be held due to the complicated epidemiological situation in Bulgaria, the head of the National Crisis Headquarters General Ventsislav Mutafchiyski said. There is no disagreement on the matter with the Ministry of Defense. The holiday will be marked at the Bulgarian military schools and the achievements of the Bulgarian army will be shown on the TV. The arrangements related to visits of families with children in public parks in Sofia have been successful so far, General Mutafchiyski said further.
