Changes in modern approaches to understand- ing the quality of labour in the national economy are associated with UNESCO recommendations on the transition to the concept of human competence and the provisions of the national system for assessing the quality of specialists. In this regard, the term „competence” becomes leading in assessing the level of quality of labour, the most important criterion of vocational training and an integral indicator of the quality of the workforce. Key words: labour resources, human capital, labour market, labour productivity, professional qualifications. JEL: J01.

    Source: Zone Bulgaria (http://en.zonebulgaria.com/) About Bulgaria General Information about Bulgaria Bulgaria is a country in Southeastern Europe and is situated on the Balkan Peninsula. To the north the country borders Rumania, to the east – the Black Sea, to the south – Turkey and Greece, and to the west – Yugoslavia and Macedonia.

It is a 750 km long mountain range stretching from the Vrushka Chuka Pass to Cape Emine and is part of the Alpine-Himalayan mountain range. It reaches the Black Sea to the east and turns to the north along the Bulgarian-Yugoslavian border. A natural boundary with Romania is the Danube River, which is navigable all along for cargo and passenger vessels. The Black Sea is the natural eastern border of Bulgaria and its coastline is 378 km long. There are clearly cut bays, the biggest two being those of Varna and Bourgas.

Most of the towns and villages lie down in the valleys or on the lower slopes, leaving the ancient forests, high alpine meadows and rugged rock for a variety of rare and endangered wildlife. This is where Rila Mountains rises and rises high – it is the highest mountain range in Southeast Europe! We are based in the village of Govedartsi on foot of the Rila Mountains. Our family-run guesthouse is the ideal base for exploration of the hills and valleys of Rila.The walking will be done with snowshoes. On stretches where we can walk without them, they will be strapped to our packs. Walking with snow-shoes requires no previous experience and is an easily mastered skill. It is great fun and you feel what freedom really means because we make our own path through the covered with snow valleys. We walk in areas where there is no risk of avalanches. Your guide knows the region and will lead you to the most spectacular places.

The achievement of sustainable development of Bulgarian tourist resorts is questionable after the European Commission has put Bulgaria's two-month ultimatum to prove that it can deal with the problem of dirty air. Tourism is a sector that is accused of violating sustainable development due to its many negative environmental impacts. A significant part of the harmful impact is due to the transport used to reach the desired destination and the movement itself. Sustainable development is a key objective of the EU and Bulgaria should not lag behind in terms of the essential indicators for its achievement. This publication aims to propose effective measures to reduce the harmful impact of passenger transport on the environment by establishing sustainable transport practices in touristic resorts. The environmental component of sustainable development is among its main priorities. Based on expert analysis of Bulgarian touristic resorts, our own research and experience in the studied subject will offer effective measures to increase their sustainability by reducing the harmful impact of transport on the environment. 1 Introduction transport practices in tourist destinations and thus contributing to the sustainable development of tourism. In Sustainable development is a topic of importance to the order to achieve the stated objective, the state of the public since the 1990s as a result of human's threatening Bulgarian tourist resorts will be analyzed in relation to impact on Planet Earth.

  • Ozone Concentrations at the Bulgarian Govedartsi Ecosystem Site in Early Summer of 1994 and 19951
    Ozone Concentrations at the Bulgarian Govedartsi Ecosystem Site in Early Summer of 1994 and 19951 Evgeny Donev,2 Karl Zeller,3 and Christo Bojinov4 Abstract Ozone measurements are presented from the Bulgarian Govedartsi ecosystem study site, Ovnarsko No. 3. The site is located on the south slope of the Govedartsi Valley in the northwestern part of the Rila Mountain area. The Rila is the highest mountain in the Balkan peninsula and is representative of rural conditions in that part of Europe. The experimental site, Ovnarsko, is situated at 1,600 m above sea level and about 10 km west of the village of Govedartsi. There are no anthropogenic sources for ozone precursors for at least 30 km in all directions. Ozone concentrations within the Govedartsi Valley are strongly influenced by thermally driven local winds from late spring to summer that occur during high pressure synoptic weather conditions. In these cases a thin stable cold layer of downslope wind is experienced during the night, separating surface air from the higher boundary layer air. This helps the reduction of ozone concentrations from dry deposition measured at the Ovnarsko site. During the 1994 and 1995 measurement periods no high ozone concentration episodes were detected. This may be because of either an absence of significant anthropogenic sources of ozone precursors in this part of the Balkan peninsula or to the shielding of the Valley during high pressure conditions. In general, ozone concentrations at Ovnarsko were below 35 ppb. Introduction In September 1991, an air-pollution study was launched at the Govedartsi in the highest mountain range in the Balkans.
