Bulgarian Minister of Environment and Waters Neno Dimov is arriving in Kavarna to attend a meeting on the Kaliakra case. The other participants include Nina Stavreva, mayor of Kavarna municipality, her team, as well as representatives of the sectors affected, the municipality press centre has announced.

The aim of the meeting, scheduled for this afternoon, is to present the details of the integrated management plan of the Kaliakra complex protected zone. On Saturday, the Ministry of the Environment and Water posted to its website a map of the protected territories so as to inform the local population what the boundaries of the Kaliakra zone are. At today's meeting Minister Dimov is expected to be acquainted, on site, with the absurdities of the map in question - one of which is that the cemetery of Topola village is included in Natura 2000.

The problems in the three seaside municipalities of Dobrudzha-Kavarna, Shabla and Balchik arose with the issuing of a decree by the environment ministry, setting down a number of restrictions and bans in the sphere of agriculture and construction in the protected zones.

The Supreme Administrative Prosecutor's Office is conducting an investigation into the legality of the controversial ordinance; it has demanded all documents connected with the boundaries of Natura 2000, which Prosecutor General Sotir Tsatsarov described a few days ago as controversial.
