    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,

PRINCIPLES OF COOPERATION WITH LOCAL GOVERNMENT Coalition 2000 will continue its activities on both national and regional/ local level. Realizing that administrative corruption is the kind citizens encounter in their everyday lives, the Coalition will place special empha- sis on interaction with the representatives of local government and the other municipal agencies for enhancing the transparency in the sphere of public services. The common interests of civil society and local govern- ment allow expanding the scope of the cooperation initiated in the pilot stage of the local projects. One precondition for successful advancement in this direction is fostering a climate of dialogue and trust between the two sectors. This implies consistent efforts by both sides, as well as profes- sionalism and resolve. Openness and Transparency of Public Administration The information the public is entitled to, either by law or by the force of the existing statutes and regulations, is often left behind the curtain of the discretion of public officials. Nor is there any sufficiently sustained civil effort to lift this curtain and shed light on the gray zones of the decision- making mechanisms. The task should therefore be to launch a continuous dialogue between public institutions and civil organizations for the attain- ment of European standards of openness and accountability.

  • Electoral Geography and Sustainable Regional Development in Bulgaria: Case Study of NorthWest Bulgaria and Vidin District
    Geographica Timisiensis, vol. 19, nr. 1, 2010 (pp. 155-162) ● ELECTORAL GEOGRAPHY AND SUSTAINABLE REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT IN BULGARIA: CASE STUDY OF NORTH-WEST BULGARIA AND VIDIN DISTRICT Marin ROUSSEV Faculty of Geology and Geography, Sofia University “St. Kliment Ohridski”, Bulgaria Abstract : The transition to sustainable development depends on political factors, concerning regional disproportions, principles of regional policy and local self-government. They are dependent on the electoral behavioral models in society. The change of social conditions in Bulgaria demands an actualization of research methods and indicators so that territorial division is optimized. Electoral geography has a great potential for such actualization. Main operative statistical units in this study are the administrative regions and municipalities as well as their macroelectoral compounding. This approach is combined with the correlative-typological potential of the “geographic passport” method. It is used for the derivation of traditional electoral types of administrative units and macroelectoral regions. Their characteristics are distinguished by clearly expressed dependencies between natural and social features on the one hand and electoral behavioral models, on the other hand. The North- West region is characterized by an unfavorable combination of natural potential and negative social tendencies – broken age structure, negative migration balance, low economic activity and agricultural specialization. This economic basis is combined with a left political orientation. The most typical example for this is the Vidin district. During the last 2-3 years there are social tendencies which lead to the assumption that Bulgaria is entering a new electoral cycle that is to replace the post communist governmental model of the last two decades.

Complete Peer review History: http://www.sdiarticle4.com/review-history/64453 Received 12 November 2020 Accepted 16 January 2021 Review Article Published 27 January 2021 ABSTRACT In Bulgaria is observed a great variety of spring waters. They are mineral and mountain spring waters. According to their temperature they can be cold (up to 37° С), warm (from 37° C to 60° C) and hot (over 60° C). This is Bulgarian standard, European Union. The mountain spring waters are cold with temperature up to 25° С. In Bulgaria for drinking mineral and mountain spring waters are valid Ordinance No 9 / 2001, Official State Gazette, issue 30, and decree No. 178 / 23.07.2004. By their chemical composition they fall into three categories – low mineralized (up to 2 g/L), moderately mineralized (2 to 15 g/L) and highly mineralized (15 – 30 g/L). According to their chemical composition the mineral waters are divided into sulphate, sulfide, hydrogen carbonate, chloride and carbonic. With regards to their gas composition they are nitrogen, sea and carbonic waters.

Stichting Epilepsie Instellingen Nederland (SEIN), Achterweg 5, 2103 SW Heemstede, Netherlands *Corresponding author: Prof Ley Sander, Box 29, UCL Queen Square Institute of Neurology, 33 Queen Square, London WC1N 3BG, UK. E-mail: [email protected]. Abstract Purpose: We attempted to identify cultural aspects of epilepsy among the Roma community in Bulgaria by elucidating cultural beliefs, traditional treatments, and potential markers of stigma. Methods: We established representative discussion groups among five distinct Roma subgroups (Lom, Kalderas, Thracian Tinsmiths (Tinkers), Kyustendil Xoroxane and Kopanari) from different Bulgarian regions. Data about local beliefs and treatment strategies were gathered. Results: Most people were familiar with convulsions but non-convulsive focal seizures were seen not as epileptic but mainly as a “mental problem". Beliefs about putative etiologies for epilepsy were not uniform as some considered environmental and external factors such as high environmental temperatures, electric shocks, loud music, and fever as causes of seizures while others listed bad experiences, stress, trauma, fear and fright as possible causes. Epilepsy was seen by some as a divine punishment or resulting from black magic. Most considered epilepsy shameful and an obstacle to children attending school.
