Learn more about how municipalities are making e-government services more accessible for citizens thanks to the WIFI4EU initiative! European Commission WiFi4EU countries: Bulgaria Eager to hold its position as a leader in digital governance and services, Bulgaria ranks second among the countries with highest WiFi4EU coverage: during the four calls for applications, 242 out of the total 265 municipalities in Bulgaria have been awarded a WiFi4EU voucher, each worth EUR 15,000! The country boasts 90% WiFi4EU coverage also thanks to the Ministry of Transport, Information Technology, and Communications, which played a pivotal role in galvanizing local support for the initiative. Seen the progress made by the Bulgarian government in the provision of online public services, Mayors have seen in WiFi4EU the opportunity to give all citizens the chance to take advantage of e-administration services, and much more. “This investment will be returned in the form of satisfaction of our citizens, opportunities for development of the local businesses and tourism, as well as opportunities for the young people to rediscover the world”, explained the Mayor of Troyan, Donka Mihaylova. On the other hand, Mayor of Ruse, Plamen Stoilov, is excited to be part of a pan- European community: “This free and wireless internet gives Ruse the opportunity to be in direct contact with the other European municipalities and to be more visible, this is a great acquisition for the citizens of Ruse, especially for the young people, thus promoting tourism”. The vast coverage of the WiFi4EU national network will benefit both locals and visitors by providing free public access to Wi-Fi in the length and breadth of Bulgaria. Tourists relaxing on the long golden beaches on the Black Sea in Primorsko and Burgas will be able to connect to the network and share the photos of the turquoise waters. The mountains, untamed forests and glacial lakes will also be covered by WIFi4EU, allowing hikers to stay connected, while skiers in Bansko will enjoy Wi-Fi after a long day of winter sports and birdwatching. Locals and visitors of all ages will stay connected where nature meets history, in the stunning Summer Palace of Queen Marie & Botanical Gardens in Balchik, in the Roman ruins in Varna and Plovdiv, and in the Tsarevets Fortress in Veliko Târnovo.

  • Treasure of Gold Appliqués for Horse Harness from Primorsko
    СТАТИИ / PAPERS Treasure of gold appliqués for horse harness from Primorsko Petar Balabanov a*, Daniel Pantov b a Department of Archaeology, New Bulgarian University, 21 Montevideo Blvd.,1618 Sofia; [email protected] b Municipal History Museum–Primorsko, 6 Rezvaia Str., 8180 Primorsko; [email protected] * corresponding author ABSTRACT In 2016, rescue archeological excavations of a Thracian burial mound were conducted four kilometers to the north-west from the town of Primorsko in the locality “Silihlyar”. Foundations of a rectangular feature were discovered in the eastern part of the mound. Its walls followed the cardinal directions and were preserved up to 0.55 m in height. During the excavations of this feature, 40 gold appliqués of a horse harness were found under the walls and the floor. They were spread over an area of cca. 2 m². One of them was found in a mortar layer of the floor, while another seven were between the stones of the northern and eastern walls. The central element of the set represents a decorated shield to which an embossed eagle’s head was attached. The clay lamp buried together with the gold appliqués suggests a deposition date of the set in a relatively nar- row chronological range – 333-250 BC. The Treasure of Primorsko is the first fully preserved set of gold decorations for horse harness found to the south of the Balkan Mountains. Further interdisciplinary research is forthcoming. KEYWORDS Burial mound, Primorsko, gold appliqués, Hellenistic Thrace treasures In the autumn of 2016, rescue archaeological excavations of a Thracian burial mound were held four kilometres to the north-west from the town of Primorsko in the locality “Sili- hlyar”.

  • Bulgaria National Report 2013
    Status of Argo Bulgaria, 1st March 2013 The Bulgarian Argo activities are framed by the BulArgo “Development of national research infrastructure as a component of Argo network” project, funded by the Bulgarian National Science Fund. It comprises a consortium of three research organizations: the Institute of Oceanology in Varna, Sofia University “St. Kliment Ohridski” and the National Institute of Meteorology and Hydrology in Sofia. The focus of the ongoing research program is the monitoring of the Black Sea. 1. The status of implementation Bulgaria was first involved in the Argo activities in December 2009, when one French PROVOR float (#5902291) was deployed in the deep part of the Black Sea by the R/V Akademik operated by the Institute of Oceanology in Varna. Latter, in March 2011, three APEX floats (#6900803, #6900804 and #6900805) were deployed in the Black Sea by the same vessel. The floats were purchased by the BulArgo project; one of the floats was equipped by an oxygen sensor. Currently, the data are available at the Institute of Oceanology website (http://www.gisserver.io-bas.bg/Web_argo). Figure. Locations of surfacing of the 3 BulArgo floats since 18 March 2011. Four Italian floats (WMO 6901959, 6901960, 6901961 and 6901962) were deployed in 2012 in the Western Black Sea from the board of R/V Akademik by the Institute of Oceanology, Varna. These floats were Arvor-L instruments manufactured by NKE in France. They were programmed to perform sampling between the surface and 700/1500 dbar once every 5 days, as well as to collect observations at the parking depth of 200 dbar.

The identification of fiscal inequalities at local level and its determinants is a starting Keywords: point in developing an equalizing mechanism that has a potential to reduce these Fiscal decentralization, fiscal inequalities. Hence, with this study we aim to contribute to a better understanding disparities, inequity about horizontal fiscal imbalance in Bulgaria. Municipal fiscal disparities are measured in terms of differences in municipal own revenue, i.e. local tax revenue, user fees and charges, and other non-tax revenue. The analysis of horizontal fiscal imbalance covers the period 2007-2018 and uses several statistics measures to yield a complete picture of the trend of municipal fiscal disparities. The main findings suggest that disparities among municipalities in terms of own-source revenue were smaller at the end of the period than those at the beginning of the period as measured by the maximum-to-minimum ratio and the coefficient of variation. Regardless, municipal fiscal disparities are still considerable with very few rich municipalities which level of own-source revenue per capita is in sharp contrast to the rest of the municipalities.

  • Bourgas District-Pomorie from Tourism Perspective
    BULGARIA- SOUTH -EASTERN REGION- BOURGAS DISTRICT-POMORIE FROM TOURISM PERSPECTIVE GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION, BORDERS, SEA PORTS On south the South-Eastern Region borders on the Republic of Turkey by three Cross Border Checking Points: Burgas, Tzarevo and Malko Tarnovo. On east the region is wide open to the Black sea through the 8 ports - Burgas, Ahtopol, Tzarevo, Sozopol, Pomorie, Nesebar, Rosenetz and Ribno Port, BUT two major ports on the Black Sea is Varna and Burgas. Both act as East-West transport corridor gateways of Bulgaria. Port facilities are generally adequate for bulk commodities, but lack facilities for special handling. Rehabilitation of both ports is planned. Bourgas is the second largest port in Bulgaria, and is in close proximity to Serbia, FYROM (Former Yugoslavia Republic of Macedonia), Greece and Turkey. The Bulgarian railways network and the Bulgarian national road system link Bourgas with major industrial inland points of the Balkans. Bourgas offers a large port facility, which can accommodate various ships and is close to a modern commercial airport. The Army has an agreement with the Bulgarian military to use it’s recreation facility located about 20 kilometers from the port, which they use to house task force personnel. Using this port provides the Commander-in-Chief, U.S. European Command, with another choice by providing another access point into the Balkans. Previously, KFOR used two ports for cargo movement supporting its troops in the U.S.-controlled sector of Kosovo—Thessaloniki, Greece and Bremerhaven, Germany. In port of Nessabar yearly are coming in big cruise ships, they make approximately 50 stops in this port per year.

Jana III Sobieskiego 2, 41-902 Bytom, Poland e-mail: [email protected] 2 National Museum of Natural History, Tsar Osvoboditel Blvd 1, 1000 Sofia, Bulgaria e-mail: [email protected] Abstract: The collections of neuropterid orders from Bulgaria and Romania preserved in museums in Poland (Upper Silesian Museum in Bytom and Museum and Institute of Zoology in Warsaw) are identified. Faunistic information on 89 species is reported: 77 species from Bulgaria and 37 species from Romania (25 species from both countries). Coniopteryx (Xeroconiopteryx) atlasensis, Megalomus tineoides, Cunctochrysa cosmia and Neuroleon assimilis are new species for the fauna of Bulgaria. These first records shift the range borders of three species with 190 to 700 km northwards. Easternmost localities of Phaeostigma (Phaeostigma) pilicollis and Nothochrysa capitata and northernmost locality of Neuroleon assimilis are registered. The new localities outline the borders of the ranges of 20 species. Very rare species are Phaeostigma (Pontoraphidia) rhodopicum (Balkan endemic species), Libelloides lacteus (a single population in Romania), Coniopteryx (Metaconiopteryx) lentiae (in Romania), Coniopteryx (Holoconiopteryx) haematica and Sagittalata perla (both in Bulgaria), and Nedroledon anatolicus (in both countries). Key words: Raphidioptera, Megaloptera, Neuroptera, faunistics, Bulgaria, Romania. INTRODUCTION The fauna of all three neuropterid orders of Romania and Bulgaria is well explored and the species diversity is almost fully known.
