  • Vladimir Paounovsky
    THE B ULGARIAN POLICY TTHE BB ULGARIAN PP OLICY ON THE BB ALKAN CCOUNTRIESAND NN ATIONAL MM INORITIES,, 1878-19121878-1912 Vladimir Paounovsky 1.IN THE NAME OF THE NATIONAL IDEAL The period in the history of the Balkan nations known as the “Eastern Crisis of 1875-1879” determined the international political development in the region during the period between the end of 19th century and the end of World War I (1918). That period was both a time of the consolidation of and opposition to Balkan nationalism with the aim of realizing, to a greater or lesser degree, separate national doctrines and ideals. Forced to maneuver in the labyrinth of contradictory interests of the Great Powers on the Balkan Peninsula, the battles among the Balkan countries for superiority of one over the others, led them either to Pyrrhic victories or defeats. This was particularly evident during the 1912-1913 Balkan Wars (The Balkan War and The Interallied War) and World War I, which was ignited by a spark from the Balkans. The San Stefano Peace Treaty of 3 March, 1878 put an end to the Russo-Turkish War (1877-1878). According to the treaty, an independent Bulgarian state was to be founded within the ethnographic borders defined during the Istanbul Conference of December 1876; that is, within the framework of the Bulgarian Exarchate. According to the treaty the only loss for Bulgaria was the ceding of North Dobroujda to Romania as compensa- tion for the return of Bessarabia to Russia. The Congress of Berlin (June 1878), however, re-consid- ered the Peace Treaty and replaced it with a new one in which San Stefano Bulgaria was parceled out; its greater part was put under Ottoman control again while Serbia was given the regions around Pirot and Vranya as a compensation for the occupation of Novi Pazar sancak (administrative district) by Austro-Hun- - 331 - VLADIMIR P AOUNOVSKY gary.

  • On the Relationship Between Atmospheric and Soil Drought in Some Agricultural Regions of South Bulgaria
    Bulgarian Journal of Meteorology and Hydrology Bulgarian National Institute Academy of Meteorology of Sciences and Hydrology Bul. J. Meteo & Hydro 22/3-4 (2017) 42-53 On the relationship between atmospheric and soil drought in some agricultural regions of South Bulgaria Veska Georgieva*, Stanislava Radeva, Valentin Kazandjiev National Institute of Meteorology and Hydrology – BAS 66 Tsarigradsko shose Blvd., 1784 Sofia Abstract: Drought is an extreme event, which affects agriculture. Soil drought occurs when the soil water balance is impaired, which causes the deterioration of the physiological state of the plants and directly affects the yields of the crops. Due to the climatic features of the country, the agricultural lands of South Bulgaria suffer from insufficient humidity during the vegetation period of the main agricultural crops. High frequency of extreme phenomena, in particular drought, as well as the several droughts observed in the first decade of the 21st century in Bulgaria and different parts of the world, is a premise for extended monitoring. The forecast of the intensity and the probability of drought acquire high importance. The aim of the study is to investigate the potential in application of atmospheric drought index as a predictor of soil drought in the agricultural regions of Southern Bulgaria. For this purpose, the Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) and Soil Moisture Index (SMI) are used in the sense of an indicator of impending soil drought during the vegetation period. Representative dry, normal and wet years were selected. The potential for implementation of SPI as an indicator of imminent soil drought has been assessed. Keywords: atmospheric and soil moisture, drought, indices 1.

  • Integrated Project for Social Inclusion for Vulnerable Groups in Burgas, Sredets and Malko Tarnovo (BULGARIA)
    Case name: Integrated Project for Social Inclusion for Vulnerable Groups in Burgas, Sredets and Malko Tarnovo (BULGARIA) ‘wow factor’ For the moment, the wow factors are all related to the skilled municipal team and their good partners. The institutionalization of this project may work well in Burgas because of the experienced municipal team that could easily take over the project and claim ownership beyond the end of the programme. Because of the serious engagement of the municipality and its partners, the future financial support with delegated budgets may not be an issue – the municipality is capable of competing for these central level budgets and it is likely that they will ensure the budget, once they could demonstrate a well-functioning programme. 1. 1. Subject/issue Integrated approach to Roma inclusion through pre-school, education, healthcare and cultural empowerment. Pre-school, education and healthcare services are coupled with infrastructure programmes – in other words, services will be delivered in improved facilities (kindergartens, schools and medical centers). The project is led by the municipality of Burgas but is implemented in partnership with 2 other municipalities, a Roma foundation, a primary school and a media foundation. The financial support consists of a combination of Swiss (85%) and Bulgarian funds (15%) and is managed in cooperation with 3 Bulgarian ministries: MLSP, MES and MH. This programme is an attempt to closely cooperate with central and local authorities, and in fact vest it within local authorities, so that sustainability and continuity is ensured (funding from central or local budgets, trained municipal human resources, established partnerships lead to a gradual transition of the project into the municipality which receives later financial support from the central budget).
