Russia bans some food imports from Bulgaria


    MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia has banned some food imports from Bulgaria from September 1 after Sofia told Moscow about an unspecified number of cases of false phytosanitary certificates, the state food safety watchdog said in a statement on Thursday.

    The temporary restrictions were imposed on any imports and re-exports to Russia accompanied by such certificates, the watchdog, known as Rosselkhoznadzor in Russian, said.
