The national test of Bulgaria’s BG-Alert system, which was postponed from April 1, will be held on June 2, the Interior Ministry said.

The test will be conducted from 11am to 11.30am.

The purpose of the test is to verify the functioning of all system components, using a specially designated test channel.

The test channel is subject to control from your device, the Interior Ministry said.

If you want to receive test messages, make sure the test channel is enabled.
