City Profile City Profile Sliven City Profile Sliven Introduction The municipality of Sliven is located 300 km east of Bulgaria's capital of Sofia, 100 km from Bourgas, the country's largest commercial port, 130 km from the border with Greece and 130 km from the border with Turkey. It has an area of 1,366 km2 and includes 45 villages. With 112,103 inhabitants, it is the eighth largest city in the country. Manufacturing and construction occupy a dominant position in the economic structure. The industrial and tertiary sector is focused on the production and distribution of power, heat and machinery as well as on financial and insurance activities. The average annual unemployment rate is 11.69%. One of its activities for reducing CO2 emissions (by 10% by 2020 compared to 2005 levels) is the application of energy efficiency measures in municipal buildings. Key examples of these measures include reducing the costs for street lighting in urban areas and renovating existing housing stock. Sliven has not yet signed the Covenant of Mayors, the topic is still under discussion in the City Council. However, there are plans to submit the Sustainable Energy Action Plan (SEAP) in 2013 if a positive political decision is made. The Municipal Infrastructure Directorate is responsible for energy and climate policies in Sliven. Energy-Efficient Buildings and Districts Energy-saving measures in Sliven concern mainly the hydro and thermal insulation of roofs, insulation and cladding with mineral plaster on external walls and replacement of old wooden windows with new more energy efficient ones (PVC joinery). Other measures involve replacing lighting fixtures and building ventilation systems to maintain indoor temperature and humidity levels in buildings. The Development Plan of Sliven Municipality for 2007 – 2013 contains also information on the specific priorities, objectives and measures to take towards energy efficiency. Renewable Energy Sources and Distributed Generation Regarding renewable energy sources and distributed energy generation, Sliven describes itself as an absolute beginner. Nevertheless, several renewable power applications (biomass, briquettes etc.) have been initiated by private developers. However, the main priority of the Municipal Development Plan is an overall assessment to investigate the potential of other renewable energy sources (i.e. wind, solar, bioenergy, hydrothermal) and integrated policies, including households and the industrial sector. March 2013 1 City Profile Sliven Since 2007, the municipality of Sliven has been operating a programme which includes a phased scheme for the renovation of municipally-owned buildings (i.e. public schools and social institutions). The municipality of Sliven has three social institutions (schools) with solar systems installed, ten kindergartens that use their own solar energy systems and one hospital (‘Dr Ivan Seliminski’ district hospital), which has a solar thermal system for hot water production. Furthermore, there are pellet- fired boilers and other domestic biomass heating systems in different factories and private buildings. Energy efficiency measures in social infrastructure have been implemented and will lead to energy savings. One more project is underway to improve the energy performance of educational buildings. The overall objective of the project is to provide a high level of energy efficiency at key sites in the municipal educational infrastructure. Apart from that, these improvements aim to contribute to a healthy environment in educational institutions in the city of Sliven as well as improve the ecological state of the city. Those measures will be implemented on different estates (two schools, two nurseries). Two more projects to reduce the energy consumption of two nurseries are waiting for approval and funding. The projects provide for the installation of energy efficient PVC window frames, waterproofing, insulation, repair and replacement of heaters and boilers, and the installation of a system for hot water. Energy in Urban Transport Currently, the main activities involve the renovation and expansion of the trolley system and the gasification of busses for urban and intercity transport. Challenges here are posed by the increased demand for urban public transport and a higher standard of transport services. More indicators have been identified and will be taken into account. The main priority is bringing the municipal transport infrastructure in accordance with the dynamics of economic and social processes. Also a matter of major concern is connecting and opening this infrastructure to adjacent road networks in order to enhance the economic and touristic connection across the south-eastern region. Financing To implement energy or climate measures, the city of Sliven uses projects funded from operational programmes described in the National Strategic Framework 2007-2013, co-financed by the Structural Funds and the Cohesion Fund. Various other sources are used, including its own funds, European funds and programmes, private investments through public-private partnerships, donors, sponsors and others. March 2013 2 City Profile Sliven Future Visions and Expectations The municipality of Sliven has developed and adopted a programme for waste management in line with the respective national waste management programme. This programme is concerned with improving the environmental parameters in the municipality. Therefore, the following measures are due to be implemented: • establishing a regional plant for the processing of municipal solid waste, regional solid waste landfill • revamping the city’s effluent treatment plant • constructing a water treatment plant (drinking water purification) for Asenovets dam • creating green areas, organically integrated into the architectural framework of settlements in the municipality and qualitative maintenance One of the main priorities of the Sliven municipality is to improve the quality, development and modernisation of technical infrastructure, including: - Upgrading the transport infrastructure of the municipality in accordance with the dynamics associated with the development of economic and social processes. - Exploring opportunities for using alternative renewable energy sources and implementing energy efficiency measures. - Extending, upgrading and modernising the district heating system. Sliven Municipality is implementing several projects in this regard. A number of other projects have been approved or are waiting for approval: - Energy-efficient modernisation of nurseries - Implementation of energy efficiency measures in several schools.

  • FMD Outbreak Bulgaria
    THIS REPORT CONTAINS ASSESSMENTS OF COMMODITY AND TRADE ISSUES MADE BY USDA STAFF AND NOT NECESSARILY STATEMENTS OF OFFICIAL U.S. GOVERNMENT POLICY Voluntary - Public Date: 1/14/2011 GAIN Report Number: Bulgaria Post: Sofia FMD outbreak Report Categories: Sanitary/Phytosanitary/Food Safety Approved By: Hoa Huynh Prepared By: Mila Boshnakova Report Highlights: On January 4, Bulgarian Ministry of Agriculture and Foods reported a case of FMD in Southeastern Bulgaria, near the Turkish border. The EU reference laboratory determined the FMD virus strain found as typical of Iran and the Asian part of Turkey. Local Vet Office reacted quickly and professionally, and the outbreak was successfully confined. Only Ukraine and Moldova, which are not major Bulgarian livestock/meat trade partners banned imports from the country. Executive Summary: General Information: FMD Outbreak On January 4, Bulgarian Ministry of Agriculture and Foods reported a case of FMD in Southeastern Bulgaria, village Kosti, near the Turkish border. This FMD case has been the first for the last 14 years (the last outbreak was in October 1996). The country had a “free of FMD without vaccination practice” OIE status. The FMD virus was identified on a wild boar shot on December 29, 2010. According to the CVO, this is the first time when the local vets identify FMD on wild carrier. Local vets think that they discovered the infection in a very early phase. The EU reference laboratory in England determined the FMD virus strain found as typical of Iran and the Asian part of Turkey. According to the Vet Office, the FMD could emerge through migration of wild boars between Turkey and Bulgaria; or it could be introduced with meat or products from hunted wild boars; or through indirect contacts with wild boars.

I'm not exception to this rule and I've never made a trip visit through whole Bulgaria even though I live here most of the time for the last 34 years of my life. Just before Christmas, I was in Pomorie Monastery for a 4 days spiritual and physical rest and it happened that one of the Monks Father Sergij with his novice monk Damian had to travel to a village near Yambol for an unexpected funeral of the Godfather of Damian. Since they were about to travel to Jambol (Yambol) and there was 2 places in the car, they agreed to take me and my wife for a short few hours trip to Yambol. And that's how I got the great chance to visit Yambol, Bulgaria for a first time in life. I didn't know what to expect as I've never been in Yambol but only have been near by in Bakadjika's Monastery and the nearly organized Motorcycle Show Rocker feast just one time.

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.

  • Early Childhood Education Expert to Support the Implementation of Pilot Project on EU Child Guarantee in Bulgaria
    TERMS OF REFFERENCE Early Childhood Intervention/ Early Childhood Education Expert To support the implementation of pilot project on EU Child Guarantee in Bulgaria Start date: 1 September 2020 End Date: 31 August 2022 Duration: 24 months, full-time and partly office-based Reporting to: UNICEF Project Manager I. BACKGROUND Child poverty is one of the most pressing concerns in today’s world and a recognized impediment to sustainable economic and social development. A wealth of evidence proves the close relationship between child poverty and a long list of individual and social risks. Evidence from studies that examined the effect of lack of money (as distinct from parental education, attitudes or behaviour) has shown that children in lower income families have worse cognitive, behavioural and health outcomes in part because they are poorer, and not just because low income is correlated with other household and parental characteristics. Lack of financial resources – directly and through related effects on maternal mental health, parenting and the home environment – results in lower cognitive development and school achievement, and problematic social-behavioural development. These effects are stronger when children experience long-term poverty, and these harmful consequences of child poverty persist in the long term not only for affected individuals, but also for societies, economies and future generations. Globally, children are more likely to be living in poverty than adults, and a child living in poverty is also more likely to grow into an adult living in poverty. Bulgaria is one of the two countries in the EU with highest shares of children who suffer from child deprivation (67.7%) and income poverty (27.5%).
