Introduction The joint strategy and methodology for environmental protection and fl ood preven- tion is a product created under the project CB006.1.12.042 “Joint actions for fl ood pre- vention in the cross-border region” fi nanced under ITERREG-IPA Cross-Border Pro- gram “Bulgaria - the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia” 2014-2020. Project’s partners are the Municipality of Bobov dol and the Municipality of Rankovce. The document aims to create a model for cross-border cooperation betweenminucipal- the two ities, which will, in case of successful implementation, achievement improve of the environmental conditions of the surrounding environment, in particular, water. It will reducetive theconse- nega quences of posible fl oods. The model might be used as a good practices-border in otherareas. cros The joint strategy and methodology for environmental protection and fl ood in prevention the Municipality of Bobov dol and the Municipality of Rankovce is an important part of the strategic planning system for sustainable integrated cross-border, regional andlocal devel- opment and it is being developed in accordance with the strategic orientation of the regional policy in the European Union, refl ecting the specifi c national goals and priorities for the re- gional development of Bulgaria - the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, and with respect to the normative and institutional framework for implementation, monitoring and evaluation. The joint strategy and methodology for environmental protection and fl ood preven- tion of the Municipality of Bobov dol and the Municipality of Rankovce is elabo- rated and implemented in accordance with the anticipated entry into force,the anddocu- ments for strategic planning and programming at the regional level that ngare updatedbei in the moment, and perspectives for development for the territory of the two municipalities. Period of Action - The Strategy is being developed for the 6-year period 2017-2022. The joint strategy and methodology for environmental protection and fl ood preventionhas been elaborated on the basis of an extensive analysis of the environmental situation in the two municipalities and the identifi ed problems, based on the study of the good European prac- tices applied to the particular situation, as well as on the basis fl ood history in the Bobov dol Municipality - the Republic of Bulgaria - and the Municipality of Rankovce - the Repub- lic of Macedonia. A detailed overview of the strengths and the weaknesses, the opportunities provided by the surrounding environment and the identifi ed threats of fl ood risk, which pre- sents a real danger for the population of the two municipalities has been made. The Strategy has been elaborated in response to the need to exploit the opportunities for implementation of local, regional and cross-border initiatives in the surrounding environment, and to deal with the negative consequences of the fl oods on both sides of the Bulgarian-Macedonian border. These two communities share the identical geographical and natural conditions, limited local resources, similar problems in the environmental fi eld, and an objective danger of fl oods oc- curring on their territory. An overview of the experience of both municipalities on how they deal with the negative consequences of the fl oods, the analysis of the actual resources and the precise defi nition of the problems in the environmental fi eld implies the application of the appropriate solutions. The set of these baseline conditions of the cross-border area form the framework of this strategy. The strategy has been developed in a short timeframe and with limited information resources. The combination of environmental conditions and factors, as well as the qualifi cations of staff , has allowed us to create a concept that responds to the stra- tegic framework. The proposed strategy provides the main directions and priorities for en- vironmental protection and for dealing with the negative consequences of the fl oods on the territory of the two municipalities in the Republic of Bulgaria and the Former Yugoslav Re- public of Macedonia. At the same time, it proposes

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.

  • 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.

Acta Biologica Sibirica 7: 125–141. https://doi. org/10.3897/abs.7.e67015 Abstract Bulgarian ground beetle (Coleoptera, Carabidae) fauna is relatively well studied but there are still many species and regions in the country which are not well researched. The present study aims at complementing the data about the distribution of the carabids from the tribes Pterostichini, Spho- drini, and Platynini, containing many diverse, interesting, and endemic species. It gives new records for 67 species and 23 zoogeographical regions in Bulgaria. The material was collected in the period from 1926 to 2021 through different sampling methods. Twenty-three species are recorded for the first time in different regions. Six species are reported for the second time in the regions where they were currently collected. Thirty-one species have not been reported for more than 20 years in Eastern and Middle Stara Planina Mts., Kraishte region, Boboshevo-Simitli valley, Sandanski-Petrich valley, Lyulin Mts., Vitosha Mts., Rila Mts., Pirin Mts., Slavyanka Mts., Thracian Lowland, and Sakar-Tundzha re- gion.

    PHYTOLOGIA BALCANICA 12 (2): 191–202, Sofia, 2006 191 Polypodium interjectum and P. ×mantoniae (Polypodiaceae: Pteridophyta), new to the Bulgarian flora Daniella Ivanova Institute of Botany, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, Acad. G. Bonchev St., bl. 23, 1113 Sofia, Bulgaria, e-mail: [email protected] Received: April 13, 2006 ▷ Accepted: May 31, 2006 Abstract. There are three closely related species of Polypodium in Europe: P. cambr i c um , P. vulgare, and P. inte r j e c tum . Although the first two species have been reported in the Bulgarian botanical literature, only P. vulgare s.str. has been so far confirmed. At present there is no evidence on the occurrence of P. cambr i c um in Bulgaria. This paper reports two taxa of Polypodium as new to the Bulgarian flora. These are P. interjectum and the natural hybrid P. ×mantoniae (P. inte r j e c tum × P. vulgare). Plants from several sites were subjected to morphological, cytological and spore analyses. The mitotic chromosome counts revealed a pentaploid number 2n = 185 for the hybrid individuals, and a hexaploid 2n = 222 for P. interjectum. A morphological comparison between Bulgarian P. interjectum and P. vulgare was made. The frond morphology of the hybrid P. ×mantoniae was intermediate between the two parents, and the spores were abortive, greatly varying in shape and size. Spore characteristics of P. interjectum and P. vulgare are noted. Distribution maps of the studied taxa in Bulgaria are presented. Polypodium interjectum and P. ×mantoniae are known to exist in many European countries. These records of the two taxa in Bulgaria extend the knowledge on their distribution.
