Bulgaria, together with the countries of Central and Eastern Europe, will seek funding from the European Commission (EC) for electromobility projects in the next programming period, Nino Dimov, Minister of Environment and Water, announced at the opening of the National Trust Ecofund Annual Event (NTEF), which took place at the Ministry of Environment and Water.

Over the next four and a half years, Montana will spend 10.7 million leva from the Environment Operational Program to stimulate households in the municipality to go for more environmentally friendly heating options than existing wood and coal stoves. The Financing Contract was signed on Tuesday by Eco Minister Nino Dimov and Montana Mayor Zlatko Zhivkov.

A three-member panel of the Supreme Administrative Court (SAC) repealed the decision of Environment Minister Nino Dimov not to carry out an environmental assessment of the changes in the management of Pirin Park. Separately, the supreme magistrates give obligatory directions to Dimov to observe the laws on protected areas and the protection of the environment.

Environmentalists organize protests in 10 cities against the expansion of the ski zone in Pirin.

They insist that the government repeal its decision of 28 December, which allows for the construction of new facilities with an investment intention for what is in line with environmental standards.
