  • Annex REPORT for 2019 UNDER the “HEALTH CARE” PRIORITY of the NATIONAL ROMA INTEGRATION STRATEGY of the REPUBLIC of BULGAR
    Annex REPORT FOR 2019 UNDER THE “HEALTH CARE” PRIORITY of the NATIONAL ROMA INTEGRATION STRATEGY OF THE REPUBLIC OF BULGARIA 2012 - 2020 Operational objective: A national monitoring progress report has been prepared for implementation of Measure 1.1.2. “Performing obstetric and gynaecological examinations with mobile offices in settlements with compact Roma population”. During the period 01.07—20.11.2019, a total of 2,261 prophylactic medical examinations were carried out with the four mobile gynaecological offices to uninsured persons of Roma origin and to persons with difficult access to medical facilities, as 951 women were diagnosed with diseases. The implementation of the activity for each Regional Health Inspectorate is in accordance with an order of the Minister of Health to carry out not less than 500 examinations with each mobile gynaecological office. Financial resources of BGN 12,500 were allocated for each mobile unit, totalling BGN 50,000 for the four units. During the reporting period, the mobile gynecological offices were divided into four areas: Varna (the city of Varna, the village of Kamenar, the town of Ignatievo, the village of Staro Oryahovo, the village of Sindel, the village of Dubravino, the town of Provadia, the town of Devnya, the town of Suvorovo, the village of Chernevo, the town of Valchi Dol); Silistra (Tutrakan Municipality– the town of Tutrakan, the village of Tsar Samuel, the village of Nova Cherna, the village of Staro Selo, the village of Belitsa, the village of Preslavtsi, the village of Tarnovtsi,

  • Slavic Folk Beliefs Regarding the Spots of the Moon
    ON THE METHODS OF CONSTRUCTING A MYTHOLOGICAL TEXT: SLAVIC FOLK BELIEFS REGARDING THE SPOTS OF THE MOON Aleksandr Gura Abstract: The dark spots visible on the surface of the full Moon have been diversely interpreted in the Slavic folk calendar, with a partial overlapping being noted upon the consolidation of relevant thematic groups. The article provides an overview regarding the explanations, concerning the origin of lunar spots, widespread among the Slavic people. The comparative analysis of the Slavic narratives on lunar spots indicates the distribution of the text into dif- ferent morphological elements, enables the ascertaining of mutual correlations and combinations, and shows how they are being used to “assemble”, construct texts in different regional traditions, determining the “grammatical” structure of the mythological text as a whole. Key words: mythology, lunar spots, Slavic folklore Different interpretations, within the Slavic folk calendar, attributed to the dark spots visible on the surface of the full Moon, can be consolidated into several partially overlapping thematic groups. ASSOCIATION OF LUNAR SPOTS WITH DIRTINESS The first group of interpretations (mainly among the Bulgarians, and partially among the Macedonians and Croatians) is associated with cows and cow dung. Pursuant to such explanations, the stains on the Moon are either a cow with a large udder (Mazneva 1946: 109) or a pear tree emptied of the fruit by God’s cow which thereafter became a Moon (ArhEIM 879-II: 72). Most frequently, however, the stains are the traces of a cowpat or ox faeces. The Moon thrown on the earth by a witch had stained itself in the cowpat excreted by a cow passing the Moon (ArhEIM 881-II: 108), or the cowpat was thrown on to the Moon in order for the latter not to shine as brightly.

The place of cultural and natural sites in the vision of the local population for the development of the target region The extent to which the sites are recognized by the respondents is considered in the context of the overall vision of the local population for the development of the target region (Haskovo district). Cultural and historical heritage sites have a clearly defined place in the vision of the population as the second most important resource for the development of the target region with their potential for attracting visitors: - the cultural and historical sites are the second most frequently mentioned resource (30.6%), connected with the main development potential of the Haskovo district - after the land and the opportunities for development of agriculture (33.2%). - next to agriculture (58.8%), considered by the respondents as the most promising sector for the Haskovo region, tourism is regarded as the second (45%) and wine growing (22.8%) as the third most important sector for development. Regarding cultural heritage a major role is played by archaeological sites – finds from antiquity, excavations and archaeological remains (at the expense of, for example, architectural monuments): given average assessment scores of 1 to 7, where 7 is the highest score, archaeological monuments are very highly valued for their potential to attract tourists to the area - 6,02, which is the highest score among all other aspects - for architectural landmarks it is 5.81 and for local customs and traditions - 5.65.

  • Bulgaria Late Spring 2019
    ABSTRACT A holiday by public transport to the Eastern Rhodopes and the Black Sea coast in search for birds and other wildlife. Author Sander Bruylants - [email protected] BULGARIA LATE SPRING 2019 An independent journey Introduction Longing for a holiday I decided to pack my stuff beginning of June. I felt it was time again to discover Europe. Since I don’t want to fly within Europe I decided to make it a journey by train and bus. The south-eastern Balkan was uncharted territory for me, so I made for Bulgaria. This country hold some specialties within Europe, like Masked Shrike, Eastern Bonelli’s Warbler, Semi-collared Flycatcher, Eastern Olivaceous Warbler, Olive-tree Warbler, Paddyfield Warbler, … Also Eleonora’s Falco is possible, which come and hunt in the south. Add some attractive landscapes and other wildlife and I was sold. I focussed on the Eastern Rhodopes (referred to as Rhodopes from now) since they hold most of my targets and I had heard it’s a very nice place. The landscape in the Rhodopes is a mixture of rugged rocky areas, rolling hills and plains covered with woodlands and extensive cultivated landscapes. Rivers cross the landscape and artificially made reservoirs can be found. It is a fairly remote area but still rather easy to travel without a car. Madzharovo is the centre for nature tourism due to the presence of one of the only Griffon colonies in Bulgaria. There is a Nature Conservation Centre which has an exhibition about the area and its inhabitants. Another gem from the Rhodopes is the Bulgarian Emerald (Somatochlora borisi), this species of dragonfly was discovered in 1999 ( and described in 2001) at the Byala Reka in the south of the Rhodopes.

Brigade members' uniforms, flags, awards, photos depicting the daily life of youth brigade members, and other items reveal the history of this movement and immerse visitors in the spirit of the times. The Dimitrovgrad Hall reveals the construction of one of Bulgaria's youngest cities, which became a symbol of Socialism in the 1950s. The Archaeology Hall showcases artefacts testifying to the life in the settlements in Dimitrovgrad Municipality, some of which have had a continuous development since the Neolithic period (6th century BC) to the present day. Part of the museum's fund is known as the "Neolithic man" discovered in 2009 during archaeological rescue excavations of the medieval settlement in the Kar Dere locality near the village of Krum close to Dimitrovgrad.
