Yaylata

The partial state of emergency on the territory of the protected area Yaylata on the Bulgarian Black Sea coast has been extended by one month. The order for this is in connection with the crisis related to the cargo ship Vera Su stranded 17 days ago there and the measures to protect the life and safety of the ship's crew.

Water invades the ship Vera SU, stranded near the protected area Yailata in Bulgaria. This became clear on Saturday at an extraordinary briefing of the Ministers of Transport and Ecology Hristo Alexiev and Asen Lichev.

The vessel, which has been stranded near Yaylata for 13 days, has shifted and approached the shore.

I will ask the prosecutor's office to investigate a crime against the environment, Bulgaria's caretaker Minister of Environment and Water Asen Lichev said with regard to the "Vera Su" case. We are talking about two crises - administrative and environmental, Minister Lichev added.

A Dutch company, which was involved in salvaging the Kursk submarine, is drawing up a plan to retrieve the Vera Su ship, which is stranded in the Yaylata area on Bulgaria's northern Black Sea coast. This was announced at a briefing by Bulgaria's Minister of Transport Hristo Alexiev, who arrived at the scene of the incident.
