The Director of Executive Agency on Medicines Alexander Yankov has resigned for personal reasons, the Ministry of Health announced today. Alexander Yankov was backbitten after information was circulated that the Agency had distributed nearly BGN 800,000 in bonuses among its employees for 2011. The additional incentives, however, were legal. The Law on Medicinal Products in Human Medicine stipulates that 25% of the Agency’s revenues may be distributed as bonuses. Yankov himself received a bonus of BGN 18,000, which he said he wanted to donate to a hospital.
