For the first time, the local stakeholder meeting was held via video conference due to the restrictions imposed by the COVID - 19 pandemic. However, the meeting was once again very fruitful as all stakeholders were able to join it. The local project manager Velina Georgieva made a brief flashback to the progress made during the year. Next, the activities and tasks to be implemented and finalized within the next year were discussed, with special attention paid to the Action Plan, which should be prepared by the end of 2021 and stakeholders will have a major contribution to implementation of the approved actions in the second phase of the project.

The meeting of stakeholders included a representative of the association responsible for conducting the study on the generated CO2 emissions from HDV at the port of Varna, acquainting all participants in detail with the data analysis, which was made and expressed confidence that by the end of the year it will be ready its final version.
