The first annual road safety awards were presented at a ceremony at the National Press Club of the Bulgarian News Agency (BTA) in Sofia Thursday. The initiative was organized by the State Agency for Road Safety with the support of BTA.

The awards were presented to regional commissions for road safety, regional directorates of the Interior, municipalities, regional directorates of Fire Safety and Population Protection, schools and kindergartens on the occasion of the National Road Safety Day, June 29. The aim is to distinguish regional and local activities implemented in support of improving traffic safety and reducing traffic fatalities and injuries.

Special awards

The special award for contribution to improving safety went to Simeon Simov, Secretary of the Children's Traffic Safety Council of Sofia Municipality, who has over 40 years of experience in the field of road safety with a focus on the most vulnerable participants, children. The award was presented to him by BTA Director General Kiril Valchev. 

Simeon Simov is co-founder and head of a children's centre and regularly organizes road safety games and quizzes. He also organizes campaigns and initiatives in kindergartens in Sofia.

A special award - a diploma for personal contribution - was awarded to Inspector Maya Vassileva of the Regional Directorate of the Interior in Dobrich. She has developed a children's police booklet, Move by the rules. This booklet is intended for children and their parents and draws attention to the basic rules of safe movement and contributes to providing information in an attractive and accessible way for children.
