“Bulgarian municipalities are currently absorbing BGN 1.3 bn for ecology and the sum will reach the amount of BGN 1.8 bn by the end of the year,” PM Boyko Borissov said during the opening of a new sewage network in the Kalkas residential district in Pernik. “The local municipality has invested BGN 200,000 and will have a utility worth BGN 32 mln,” added PM Borissov. According to him, this practically demonstrates the usefulness for Bulgaria from its EU membership.

PM Borissov pointed out that the work of the Council of Ministers with the mayors of all municipalities, regardless of their party affiliations, was a new approach demonstrated by his team.
