Click to Enlarge Image HISTORICAL BACKGROUND Early Settlement and Empire: According to archaeologists, present-day Bulgaria first attracted human settlement as early as the Neolithic Age, about 5000 B.C. The first known civilization in the region was that of the Thracians, whose culture reached a peak in the sixth century B.C. Because of disunity, in the ensuing centuries Thracian territory was occupied successively by the Greeks, Persians, Macedonians, and Romans. A Thracian kingdom still existed under the Roman Empire until the first century A.D., when Thrace was incorporated into the empire, and Serditsa was established as a trading center on the site of the modern Bulgarian capital, Sofia.

  • Metopiinae (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae) from Bulgaria and Related Regions
    © Biologiezentrum Linz/Austria; download unter www.zobodat.at Linzer biol. Beitr. 46/2 1343-1351 19.12.2014 Metopiinae (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae) from Bulgaria and related regions Janko KOLAROV A b s t r a c t . The newly discovered female of Exochus hirsutus TOLKANITZ is described and figured. Data of 40 Metopiinae species from Bulgaria and related regions are presented. Of them 19 species are new records to the Bulgarian fauna, 3 species new to Macedonia, 12 species new to Greece, 3 species new to Turkey and 1 species new to Iran (marked in the text by asterisk). K e y w o r d s : Metopiinae, Ichneumonidae, Bulgaria, new records, description. Introduction Metopiinae is a medium-sized ichneumonid subfamily comprising 22 genera and about 660 species worldwide (YU & HORSTMANN 1997). They are koinobiont endoparasitoids of lepidopterous larvae, living usually in leaf rolls or folds on plants. Oviposition takes place into the host larva, but the adult emergence always occurs from the pupa. A key to the genera is given by TOWNES (1971). The Bulgarian Metopiinae fauna is not well studied. The first reports were made by TSCHORBADJIEW (1925). Until now 49 species from Bulgaria were reported mainly by GREGOR (1933), ANGELOV & GEMANOV (1969), GERMANOV (1980) and KOLAROV (1984). In the present paper data for 40 species are given. Of them 19 species are new records to the Bulgarian fauna, 3 species new to Macedonia, 12 species new to Greece, 3 species new to Turkey and 1 species new to Iran. For the other species new localities are added. The newly discovered female of Exochus hirsutus TOLKANITZ is described and figured for the first time.

  • Do Public Fund Windfalls Increase Corruption? Evidence from a Natural Disaster Elena Nikolovaa Nikolay Marinovb 68131 Mannheim A5-6, Germany October 5, 2016
    Do Public Fund Windfalls Increase Corruption? Evidence from a Natural Disaster Elena Nikolovaa Nikolay Marinovb 68131 Mannheim A5-6, Germany October 5, 2016 Abstract We show that unexpected financial windfalls increase corruption in local govern- ment. Our analysis uses a new data set on flood-related transfers, and the associated spending infringements, which the Bulgarian central government distributed to mu- nicipalities following torrential rains in 2004 and 2005. Using information from the publicly available audit reports we are able to build a unique objective index of cor- ruption. We exploit the quasi-random nature of the rainfall shock (conditional on controls for ground flood risk) to isolate exogenous variation in the amount of funds received by each municipality. Our results imply that a 10 % increase in the per capita amount of disbursed funds leads to a 9.8% increase in corruption. We also present suggestive evidence that more corrupt mayors anticipated punishment by voters and dropped out of the next election race. Our results highlight the governance pitfalls of non-tax transfers, such as disaster relief or assistance from international organizations, even in moderately strong democracies.

  • Annex REPORT for 2019 UNDER the “HEALTH CARE” PRIORITY of the NATIONAL ROMA INTEGRATION STRATEGY of the REPUBLIC of BULGAR
    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,

  • Contingency Planning: Process, Templates, Current State in Bulgaria

Special attention is paid to the Bulgarian national frame. The survey is structured as follows: A brief description of the concept of contingency planning is made. The benefits and the process of making contingency plans for mitigating disaster damages are outlined. The main steps of the process include: − Analysing hazard and risk; − Identifying, defining and prioritizing contingencies; − Developing scenarios for the planning process; − Preparing a contingency plan for each selected scenario; − Maintaining and updating the contingency plan. Links to templates for making contingency plans by various means are given. Special attention is paid to the Bulgarian legislation for Critical Infrastructure Protection – the laws and regulations for disaster protection and especially for flood protection. Practical plans for disaster protection in Bulgaria are also analysed. Three levels of plans and measures for disaster protection are introduced: − national level; − institutional level; − municipality level. The Bulgarian national plan for disaster protection was adopted on 29.12.2010 by the Council of Ministers and its implementation is mandatory for all government bodies, legal, individual and sole proprietors in the event of disaster.
