It has dropped down by 16% in last 15 years, with an average for the country – 12.2%. The main reason for that negative trend is the migration of young and medium aged people to West Europe, the U.S. and Sofia (capital and the largest city in Bulgaria).

Milen Penerliev 1 Alternative tourism is a form of tourism which represents an alternative to the conventional mass tourism. Its forms are small-scale, low-density, divided into forms practiced in urban (religious, cultural, business) and rural areas. Alternative tourism is an attempt to preserve, protect and improve the quality of the existing resource base, which is fundamental for tourism itself. Alternative tourism is featured by active encouragement and care for the development of additional andspecific attractions as well the infrastructure, which are based on the local resources, while at the same time aiding the latter. It has an impact on the quality of life in the region, improves the infrastructure and increases the educational and cultural level of the local community.

    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,

In the province of Plovdiv, Bulgaria, the Virtual inch (psi)] and provide 150,000 normal cubic meters Pipeline™ technology, created by Galileo Technologies, per day (Nm3/d) [48,100 gallons of gasoil equivalent allows gasification in 13 municipalities. Among per day (GGE/d)] of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG). the centers of economic activity favored by this technology, the main ski resort of the country and Once converted into CNG, the fluid is sent from the one of the major worldwide factories of winter sports compressors to the modular containers MAT™, where items stand out. it is stored for future distribution. The initiative is headed by CNG Maritza, who As regards transportation, the MAT are transferred represents Galileo Technologies in Bulgaria, and from the PAC™ support and load platforms to the it represents the greatest European project of gas distribution, aside from the conventional pipeline Mother station in Graf Ignatievo networks. The initiative improves the quality of approximately 100,000 inhabitants that currently satisfy their heating and fueling needs at a low cost and preserving the environment. In the benefited communities area, the laying of conventional pipelines was unfeasible due to the absence of large consumption centers that could allow the recovery of the investment. The Virtual Pipeline solves this problem in these scenarios, extending the reach of the gas source through the existing vial network. With this vision, CNG Maritza installed a mother station of Virtual Pipeline in Graf Ignatievo.

The rose samples were collected during May 2019 from the plantations in Skobelevo, Asen, Iasenovo, and Koprinka villages grown under different conditions. The contents of total polyphenols and flavonoids in the water extracts from rose petals were determined. Additionally, the antioxidant activity of rose water extracts was evaluated by four reliable methods: 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), 2,2′-azino-bis-3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulphonic acid (ABTS), ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) and cupric reducing antioxidant capacity (CUPRAC) assays. The highest values of total phenols and flavonoids were found in the rosewater extract from organically grown plantation: 47.09±2.89 mg GAE/g dry weight and 6.87±3.00 mg QE/g dry weight, respectively. The highest radical scavenging activity demonstrated the extracts from organic plantations, while the metal-reducing assays showed higher antioxidant potentials in the extracts from conventionally grown roses.
