The USYC does not coordinate or cover the cost of COVID-19 testing for entry into Bulgaria for Macedonian students, but the program team should note and communicate vaccination and testing entry requirements to Macedonian participants.

The organizing team will take all appropriate and necessary anti-epidemic measures to mitigate the spread of Covid-19. The organizers reserve the right to postpone the dates should unforeseen circumstances occur. As AUBG’s campus is a green-certificate only, all participants must have a valid green certificate to enter the campus. This does not apply for students under the age of 18.

Macedonian participants will also need to comply with border requirements to enter Bulgaria. These will be communicated to the participants before their departure as the situation is constantly changing.
