Six residents of the town of Kocani from North Macedonia are traveling to the Pirogov Hospital in Sofia to donate blood. They have the rare blood type A, a negative Rh factor, which is urgently needed for one of the patients in serious condition admitted to the emergency hospital in Sofia, Zoran Todorov, co-chair of the Rotary Committee for Friendship Bulgaria-North Macedonia-Slovenia, told BNR. 
The chairman of the Bulgarian Red Cross, Hristo Grigorov, has provided a corridor for blood donors with the rare blood type from Kocani.
