  • Some Things You May Find Useful to Know…
    Some things you may find useful to know… About Bulgaria Bulgaria, officially the Republic of Bulgaria is a country in southeastern Europe. It is bordered by Romania to the north, Serbia and Macedonia to the west, Greece and Turkey to the south, and the Black Sea to the east. With a territory of 110,994 square kilometers (42,855 sq mi), Bulgaria is Europe's 16th-largest country. Its population of 7.4 million people is predominantly urbanized and mainly concentrated in the administrative centers of its 28 provinces. Most commercial and cultural activities are centered on the capital and largest city, Sofia. The country is a member of the European Union, NATO, and the Council of Europe. The climate in the country is dynamic, which results from its being positioned at the meeting point of Mediterranean and continental air masses and the barrier effect of its mountains. Northern Bulgaria averages 1 °C (1.8 °F) cooler than the regions south of the Balkan mountains. Temperature amplitudes vary significantly in different areas. The lowest recorded temperature is −38.3 °C (−36.9 °F), while the highest is 45.2 °C (113.4 °F). Situated at a crossroads between civilizations, Bulgaria has more than 13 centuries of recorded history and one of the richest cultural legacies in Europe. Modern Bulgarian culture derives from three ancient civilizations: the Bulgars, then Thracians, and the Slavs. The territory was also part of the Byzantine and Ottoman empires for several centuries. Bulgarians are the main ethnic group in the country and comprise 84.8% of the population.

The Bulgarian position that the Macedonian minority in Bulgaria does not exist directly contradicts the fact that this minority was previously officially recognized in Bulgaria and that in almost all censuses in the last 80 years thousands of Bulgarian citizens identified themselves as Macedonians. Refusing to face the reality and contrary to the recommendations of various international organizations and institutions in the last 20 years, the Bulgarian government refuses to start a dialogue with the minority and ascribes the actions of the Bulgarian citizens with Macedonian self-awareness to the R. Macedonia. However, initiatives in the international organizations and institutions in support of the Macedonian minority are not initiated by the Republic of Macedonia, but, quite the opposite, by Bulgarian citizens and organizations; such forums include not only the Council of Europe’s system in Strasbourg and the UN, but also the institutions of the European Union, where in fact Macedonia is not a member. Formulated back in 1963, the policy of denial of the Macedonian minority was the first in a series of “revival processes” aimed at assimilating mi- norities into a “unified Bulgarian socialist nation”, but at the same time it is the last process to remain not condemned in Bulgaria and that continues to be implemented even today.

  • Natural Hazards Vulnerability in Blagoevgrad Province
    SocioBrains ISSN 2367-5721, JOURNAL HOMEPAGE: WWW.SOCIOBRAINS.COM INTERNATIONAL SCIENTIFIC REFEREED ONLINE JOURNAL WITH IMPACT FACTOR ISSUE 41, JANUARY 2018 NATURAL HAZARDS VULNERABILITY IN BLAGOEVGRAD PROVINCE Abstract: Blagoevgrad Province is located in the southwestern part of Bulgaria. The specific hydro-climatic conditions and the complex geological and tectonic development of the region give all the prerequisites for the emergence and development of different types unfavorable natural phenomena (natural hazards) in space and time. Floods, landslides, earthquakes and adverse climatic phenomena are a major factor in these phenomena. The territory of Blagoevgrad Province is vulnerable to varying degrees from each of them. Author information: Rosen Iliev Keywords: PhD student Blagoevgrad, vulnerability, natural disasters, hazard South-West University „Neofit Rilski― – Blagoevgrad, [email protected] Bulgaria Introduction lagoevgrad Province occupies the southwest part of the Republic of Bulgaria. It is located between Kyustendil, Sofia, Pazardzhik and Smolyan Provinces and state B borders with Greece and Macedonia [Fig.1]. The province has a territory of 6,449.5 km² and a population of 312,831 [as of December 2015]. It is the third largest in Bulgaria after Burgas and Sofia Provinces and comprises 5.8% of the country's territory. Blagoevgrad Province includes the mountains, or parts of, Rila [Musala peak, 2925 m], Pirin [Vihren peak, 2914 m], the Rhodopes, Slavyanka, Belasitsa, Vlahina, Maleshevo, Ograzhden and Stargach Mountains. There are two major rivers — Struma River and Mesta River — with population concentrations along their valleys, which are also the main transport corridors. Fig.1 Location of Blagoevgrad Province in Bulgaria The complex physiographic position and complex geologic-geomorphological evolution of Blagoevgrad Province are a prerequisite for the emergence and development of various natural phenomena which will be discussed in more detail below.

  • Regional Disparities in Bulgaria Today: Economic, Social, and Demographic Challenges
    REGIONAL DISPARITIES IN BULGARIA TODAY: ECONOMIC, SOCIAL, AND DEMOGRAPHIC CHALLENGES Sylvia S. Zarkova, PhD Student1 D. A. Tsenov Academy of Economics – Svishtov, Department of Finance and Credit Abstract: To accelerate Bulgaria's economic development taking into account the specific characteristics of their regions is a serious challenge for the local governments in the country. The ongoing political and economic changes require a reassessment of the country's economic development. The aim of this study was to analyse the disparities among Bulgaria’s regions (de- fined in accordance with the Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics (NUTS)) by assessing the degree of economic, social and demographic chal- lenges they face and performing a multivariate comparative analysis with sets of statistically significant indicators. The analysis clearly outlines the bounda- ries of the regional disparities and the need to improve the country’s regional and cohesion policies. Key words: regional policy, differences, NUTS, taxonomic develop- ment measure.

    FOLIA ENTOMOLOGICA HUNGARICA ROVARTANI KÖZLEMÉNYEK Volume 78 2017 pp. 111–255 Trichoptera endemic in the Carpathian Basin and the adjacent areas János Oláh H-4032 Debrecen, Tarján u. 28, Hungary. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract – Original text of taxonomic diagnosis and data of type specimens are collected and cited for each Trichoptera species endemic or subendemic in and around the Carpathian Basin, together with taxonomic history of relevant changes in nomeclature. Th e total number of the described cad- disfl y species endemic in or around the Carpathian Basin is 263. By describing 78 new incipient phylogenetic sibling species a surprisingly high ratio of unknown caddisfl y diversity were detected during only a few years and with only moderate collecting eff ort. Th is clearly indicates the highly depressed state of the western contemporary taxonomy. Th e recently diverged taxa are products of Pleistocene speciation process during isolated integration in crenon/epicrenon habitats on sky islands of high mountain ranges. Rhyacophila (32 species) and Drusus (62 species) genera and the Chaetopterygini (56 species) and Stenophylacini (42 species) tribes are the groups richest in en- demic species diverged in spring and spring stream habitats of high elevations. Key words – Balkan Peninsula, caddisfl ies, Carpathian Basin, taxonomic history INTRODUCTION During the last few years we have conducted studies on speciation proc- esses acquiring intuitive insight into the contemporary entity divergences simply by empirical detecting and describing over 120 young incipient new caddisfl y species in the European Trichoptera fauna (Oláh et al. 2012, 2013a, b, c, 2014, 2015a, b, 2017). Th is amount of new taxa, discovered easily with moderate eff ort in the so-called “intensively studied and well known” faunal region, clearly indi- cates that our knowledge is still far from complete.

Its geographical situation represents a natural bridge between the Orient and the Occident, also the North and the South. Bulgaria is populated y of 7,1 million inhabitants. Many civilizations, languages and cultures crossed themselves on his this territory, natural crossroads at the heart of the Balkans. After five centuries of Ottoman occupation having necessarily left an imprint in the landscape. The independence, acquired after a hard fight in 1878 with the support of the Russian army, expressed in the sophisticated constructions of the “National Renaissance". Bulgaria counts among the richest archeological sites in Europe. Practically every city possesses its own museum and treasure, witnesses of Neolithic, Thracian, Hellenistic or Roman periods. Bulgaria’s biggest city, Sofia is one of Europe’s most compact and walkable capital cities, populated of 1 378 000 inhabitants. Sofia has a young and dynamic vibe, like a city waking up after decades of slumber, and is becoming a confident and cosmopolitan European capital. Bulgaria is member of NATO and since 2007 the EU. Razlog Bulgaria’s lush mountainous and forested landscapes, especially around the Rila and Pirin Mountains, inhabited by bears, lynx, rare birds and other kinds of wildlife now becoming scarce elsewhere in Europe. It is right in the middle of Pirin National Park, Rila mountains and the Rhodopes that the town of Razlog is situated.

  • New Species and Records of Balkan Trichoptera II
    FOLIA HISTORICO NATURALIA MUSEI MATRAENSIS 2013 37: 109–121 New species and records of Balkan Trichoptera II. JÁNOS OLÁH & TIBOR KOVÁCS ABSTRACT: Our knowledge on the Balkan Trichoptera, especially in Albania, Macedonia, and Montenegro is still very limited. Here we report 68 species collected mostly on higher elevations. Two new species are described: Agapetus campos Oláh sp. n., Drusus gombos Oláh sp. n. The unknown females of Drusus klapaleki and Potamophylax juliani have been discovered and described. Introduction The Balkan Peninsula is one of the least collected regions in Europe. In addition, the collection on higher elevation is even more limited. The Sakertour Eastern Europe, Birdwatching and Hide Photography Company of the Carpathian Basin and Danube Delta has financed both spring and autumnal collecting trips in the year of 2013. We have applied the collecting, processing, clearing, cleaning, and drawing methods described by OLÁH (2011). The new method and nomenclature developed for the detailed examination and drawing of the vaginal sclerite complex of the female genitalia was described by OLÁH et al. (2013). The results of new species records as well as the descriptions of new species are presented here.
