The role of the veterinary service of Bulgaria for closing of EU Chapter 'Agriculture' and the accession of the country to the European Union
Each profession, faced from its professional chauvinism, has its top periods of its development. In this regard, the veterinary medicine in Bulgaria could be assessed by tracing its development back from its 130 years history. This development naturally follows and is being directed by the socio-economic relations started from the Liberation of Bulgaria to nowadays. From historical point of view, the veterinary profession and the veterinary service do not remain obliged to society, contributing greatly to its progressive development by elaboration of measures for protection of human and animal health, and by defending the policies of biological laws. No accident that this science, this profession - "the veterinary medicine" - is regulated as one of the seven most prestigious in Europe, along with human medicine, law, etc. The top periods of the profession and the expression of certain individuals in it are presented in the works of professional veterinary medical historiography. Our task is to present the contribution and role of the veterinary profession and service of Bulgaria for closing of EU Chapter 'Agriculture' and the accession of the country to the European Union. ; BG; bg; EFSAfocalpoint@mzh.government.bg
