The President of the Municipal Council of Serbia’s Tsaribrod (Dimitrovgrad), Zoran Djurov, Saturday opened a formal meeting of the Council as part of a broad programme of events dedicated to the municipality’s holiday. September 21 marks the Nativity of the Theotokos, according to the old calendar. 

Djurov greeted the distinguished guests and the members of the public who attended the meeting and took stock of the important events for the municipality, home mostly to ethnic Bulgarians, in the past year.

In his address, Djurov pointed to the need for another border checkpoint between Bulgaria and Serbia. He added that it will ease the lives of hundreds of local residents who cross the border on a daily basis.

He said that his municipality will address environmental problems such as wastewater treatment. Djurov added that the first sod of a wastewater treatment plant in Dimitrovgrad is expected to be cut in two years’ time.

Addressing the attendees, Mayor Vladica Dimitrov used the occasion to thank the firefighters, volunteers, locals, and doctors who took part in the firefighting efforts this year.

Saturday’s meeting was attended by Bulgaria’s Ambassador to Serbia Petko Doykov, the Bulgarian Consul General in Nis, Dimitar Tsanev, municipality mayors from the two countries, and a representative of Serbia’s Ministry of Public Administration and Local Self-Government, Bulgarian News Agency Director General Kiril Valchev, Bulgarian National Radio Director General Milen Mitev, among others.
