The government has a special concern for northern Bulgaria, Prime Minister Nikolay Denkov said during his visit to Montana, Northwestern Bulgaria. He pointed out that a comprehensive package of funding for the road network had already been adopted, some packages of projects were currently being completed and new ones were expected to start, related to the Ruse - Veliko Tarnovo road, the roads to Turkiye and Greece, and the planning of the road from Sofia to Montana and Vidin through the Petrohan pass in the Balkan Mountains, where a tunnel is to be built.
"All politicians owe northwestern Bulgaria, we are yet to talk about demography, education, health, social policy. In this part of the country they should be developed so that people see that we do not support only Sofia, Plovdiv and the big cities, but also northwestern Bulgaria," Denkov said.
Regarding the floods in northwestern Bulgaria and Montana Region in the spring and early summer of 2023, Denkov said that the funds in the Disaster and Emergency Fund have been significantly increased, and there is always a readiness to transfer additional resources.
