    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,

  • Agri-Ecological Zoning of Municipalities in the Kyustendil Region
    3rd INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM FOR AGRICULTURE AND FOOD – ISAF 2017 __________________________________________________________________________________ AGRI-ECOLOGICAL ZONING OF MUNICIPALITIES IN THE KYUSTENDIL REGION Martin Banov, Veneta Krasteva, Nevena Miteva, Svetla Marinova Institute of soil Science Agrotechnologies and Plant Protection Nikola Poushkarov, Sofia, Bulgaria Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract It has been done agroecological zoning of nine municipalities in Kyustendil area - Bobovdol, Boboshevo, Kocherinovo, Kyustendil, Nevestino, Rila, Sapareva bania, Dupnitza and Treklyano. Agro- ecological zoning is done based on certain environmental characteristics, basic of which are: prevailing soil type; an extreme manifestation of certain climatic factors; altitude; relief features and other. In the presented paper were analyzed and described: weather conditions; soil resources; agronomic suitability of land for organic growing of suitable for the region crops. There were considered the potential threats of soil erosion, acidification and compaction. It was prepared land evaluation regarding the potential for growing grape and fruit, vegetable crops, meadows and pastures. It was found that the areas with altitude above 800 m are unsuitable for cultivation with fruit crops, which can be planted in areas with an altitude of 1800 m. Vegetable crops are not suitable to be cultivated in areas with altitude above 800 m are with the exception of late potatoes which may be planted in places with an altitude of 1800 m. It was found that the areas with altitude above 800 m are unsuitable for growing vines. The territories with altitude above 2400m are unusable for grassland. Keywords: weather conditions; soil resources, agronomic suitability, land evaluation. Intrduction Agricultural practices are certainly one of the most important factors in the evolution of mankind.

  • Eu Complaint Annex 8 a
    INTRODUCTION Regarding the Complaint to the Commission of the European Communities, lodged by Balkanka Association, Sofia, Bulgaria on 30.06.2015, followed by 8 /eight/ consecutive appendixes - No1 to No8, transferred to EU Pilot application under reference EUP(2017)9183, the following document contains new information concerning recently discovered huge infringements of EU law committed by the Bulgarian authorities responsible for the environmental protection in our country - the Bosilegrad ecocatastrophe. The case was described in previous Appendix No8 to the original Complaint. It is about the ecocatastrophe currently taking place in Bosilegrad, Serbia and about the forthcoming catastrophe in the region of the municipalities of Kyustendil - Treklyano - Zemen in Bulgaria. On October 23rd 2018, MEP Angel Djambazky submitted to DG ENV a question, asking is the Directorate General aware of the problem. Here is a link to the question http://www.europarl.europa.eu/doceo/document/P-8-2018- 005389_BG.html?fbclid=IwAR3tREk7px6ftlBuahGAgiom9aUneUbJhPTQcG9Luifw4P kffdsv3gprRMI The answer of Commissioner Vella under DG ENV reference P-005389/2018 dated November 29th, announces that DG ENV is aware and that the issue will be discussed with the Serbian authorities somewhere in the end of March 2019, during some kind of consultation. We, therefore, feel the need to share all new evidence and information about the case in Bosilegrad we managed to collect since Appendix No8 was lodged, so that the EC delegation will be better prepared for consultations with the Serbian authorities. It is because we have no knowledge of the information on the case which might have possibly been exchanged between our Ministry of Environment and DG ENV, but we are also pretty sure that our minister is putting his best effort to sweep the problem under the carpet, simply because he has done the same several times in several media interviews here in BG in the last two months.
