Together with the unusually mild weather for this time of the year, the village of Podkrepa, Haskovo region (southern Bulgaria) also welcomed the first foreteller of Spring. Local people say that this year the first stork came to their place quite earlier than usual. For them the early arrival of the stork is a sign that the year will be very fruitful. Photo: BGNES



The new containers for used clothes and shoes were presented today in Sofia. According to data from Sofia Municipality, around 3% of the overall quantity of wastes generated through the past year, belong to the textile industry. On the other hand the citizens show considerable interest in collecting that kind of waste separately, hence the need for a greater number of such containers. Photo: BGNES
