State is prepared to transfer the charge of Nessebar municipality its share of joint-stock company “Sunny Beach”. Ministry of Economy has expressed its consent in writing of the ordinance this year. This was announced at a round table in the old city Lyubomir Iliev, an expert from the Ministry of Economy. Cited by BurgasInfo.com.

The state is not the sole owner of the Sunny Beach AD. It owns 75% and the remaining 25% shares are allocated to private owners. If the transfer is free of charge, this would be contested in court by shareholders.

In two hours all the countries discussed, argued, prehvarchaha sparks were heard insults and threats. Cause of a heated dispute has suspended street lighting of the resort. Sunny Beach has already tourists who walk around with lighters and flashlights.

At the beginning of the year, hotel owners refused to sign contracts with the company and the shareholders’ money to pay for maintenance because the resort fee paid to the municipality. Street power, surveillance, maintenance of green areas, etc., worth 1 million and EUR 600 thousand from the company sent an invoice to the mayor of Nessebar, but he refused to sign it.

“The municipality in this dispute is not involved, not us in conflict. What is this roundtable. Why are you wasting time?” Said Mayor Nikolay Dimitrov.

“When one company and no money is lost, shareholders earn money and pay,” said President of the Union of Owners of Elena Ivanova.

“We have no legal basis to Vadim funds assets, because the infrastructure is used by third parties,” explained Stratieva Malina, executive director of the Sunny Beach AD. Until three years ago the municipality of Nessebar is returning 70% of the company’s resort fee. Now this money has been stopped.

The account shows that 71 thousand beds of old privatized hotels, three months from the resort fee is collected 7 million and 100 thousand Stratieva According to the Mayor of Nessebar Nikolay Dimitrov is not interested in the problems of the resort. In the next example, the municipality of Sveti Vlas is transferred EUR 2,5 million for infrastructure and Sunny Beach for nothing.

Transfer procedure itself takes time, you must first decide on the board of directors of the General Assembly AD-it, and this is scheduled for June 27. At the same time, hoteliers threatened to protest the yellow pavement in Sofia.

By decision of the roundtable is not reached and the participants agreed in a narrow range to meet in the mayor’s office and lawyers for the municipality of unraveling the legal options for resolving the case. Otherwise, the tourist season will be ruined.

The Stara Planina Mountains are the third highest, but the longest mountain range in Bulgaria, stretching from the River Timok to the west to Cape Emine to the east. The range divides the country into two roughly equal parts: Northern and Southern Bulgaria.

     The mountains have had a number of names- Haemus, Matorni Gori, Balkan. After the Turks had invited the peninsula, they called the range “Balkan”, meaning “a wooded mountain range”. This name was later adopted by the geographical literature of the West and the whole peninsula became known as the Balkan Peninsula. The Bulgarians called the range Stara Planina, which means “old mountains”. To the south the mountainside slopes steeply and quite impressively to the valleys, whereas the northern flanks slope down more gently.

    The Balkan Mountains are divided into three sections: the Western, Central and eastern Balkan. The highest peak is Mount Botev-2 376 m high is

 in the Central part. The main range is between the Pre-Balkan- densely wooded heights to the north, and the Sub-Balkan valleys to the south, nestling at the foot of the high-rising mountains. It is a natural climatic barrier which prevents the cold winds from the north from penetrating South Bulgaria, thus making its climate milder. The range is rich in deciduous forests, mainly of oak and beech. Natural coniferous are rare, but not unlikely to come across. The mountains are the habitat of deer, hares, bears, wild goats, etc. They contain deposit of coal, iron and copper. There are also a number of quarries, producing marble, limestone and sandstone.

      The scenery of   the Balkan Mountains is remarkably beautiful and it is a perfect hiking territory. There is a number of nature reserves like Boatin, Tsarichina, Steneto, declared such both for their scenic attractions and to preserve their flora and fauna.

      The Mountains have been inhabited since ancient times. Thracians, Slavs and Bulgarians took refuge in their densely wooded hills when threatened by enemies. The mountains gave shelter to the Bulgarian “haidouti’- those brave men and women who took up arms against the oppressors during the Ottoman rule. The Russian troops and the Bulgarian volunteers defended their passes and peaks during the Russo-Turkish War in 1877-1978.

      Traveling near the town of Sliven you can see the Blue Rocks-a spot of breathtaking mountain scenery. The famous Shipka Pass, connected with the glorious battles during the Russo-Turkish War, is one of the most important historical places in Bulgaria. Veliko Turnovo, once a medieval walled city and capital of Bulgaria (1185-1393), has a magnificent setting- perched high among the steep cliffs of the Yantra gorge. Lovech and Troyan as well as the Troyan Monastery are also worth visiting.

      Driving westwards from the town of Bourgas to the Bulgarian capital Sofia via the Sub-Balkan valleys you can not help feeling fascinated by the beauty of the scenery along somewhat narrow and winding road. A number of small towns like Kalofer, Karlovo, Sopot, connected with the struggles of the Bulgarians against the Ottoman oppressors that have preserved the charm of the Bulgarian  National Revival architecture, are picturesquely situated along the road. A Thracian tomb near the town of Kazanlak with unique wall paintings has been miraculously preserved here. The famous Valley of Roses is very beautiful and you can have a look at it during your driving rent a car in Bulgaria.

The famous Bachkovo Monastery, nestling among the green hills of the Rhodope Mountains is situated some 28 km south of the town of Plovdiv and about 20 km from the town of Assenovgrad.

        The Monastery was built in 1083, when Bulgaria was under Byzantine domination. The Byzantine commander Grigorii Bakouriani, a Georgian by birth who held high office during the reign of the Byzantine Emperor Alexius Comnenus, and his brother Apasii had decided to build up a monastery to express their gratitude to God, who had blessed their arms. The Monastery was proclaimed to be a self-governing body, and very soon after its foundation it became a wealthy landowner whose properties stretched as far as Thessaloniki.

       The oldest building preserved to this day is the church ossuary, which is nearly 500 m away from the monastery. Besides even today it is the most impressive building in the monastery ensemble with its fine architecture and valuable murals. It is influenced by Syrian and Armenian-Georgian architecture.

       When the Bulgarian Tsar Kaloyan (1207-1211) conquered the Rhodopes, the Bachkovo Monastery was included into the Bulgarian state. In 1344, when the Bulgarian Tsar Ivan Alexander regained the Rhodope Mountains, the monastery was enlarged and populated with Bulgarians.

       In 1396-1397 Bulgaria finally succumbed to the ottoman troops, but the monastery remained intact. It became the shelter of the last Bulgarian Patriarch Euthymius, who was exiled here. The monastery preserved the Bulgarian national spirit and that was why a century later, during a wave of Mohammedanization, the buildings were set on fire and a period of decline followed. The only building that survived was the Church of the Holy Trinity, which contains some murals of great value, known as the ossuary.

      In 1604 the Church of the Assumption was built in the place of the monastery`s oldest church, destroyed by the Turks. The building has survived to this day in its original structure of a three-aisled basilica with a large narthex and a dome.

      The Church of the Archangels is next to the Church of the Assumption. Its narthex and arcade were painted by Zakhari Zograf, a Bulgarian master-painter of the National Revival period, who was an original artist and innovator and one of the pioneers of Bulgarian pictorial art.

       The Church of Saint Nicholas is the newest built in a side yard of the monastery in 1837. Zakhary Zograf`s painting of the Last Judgement is very interesting because of the depicted faces of living rich men and women.

       The monastery`s history is eventful. Old manuscripts and books written here, a rich collection of church objects could be seen in the monastery museum. Everything here makes it a holy place that has treasured the Bulgarian culture, spirit and national consciousness.
