Food and Veterinary Agency (FVA) director Zoran Atanasov told a press conference on Friday that he is set to resign from his post next week in order to work as advisor to the Prime Minister.

The Prime Minister offered me to be an advisor in the field of agriculture, food safety, veterinary and phytosanitary policy, which is a special challenge for me, said Atanasov.

Zoran Atanasov has been the director of the FVA since June 2017.
