The EU has approved 17 million euro in funding for improving air quality in Bulgaria. The clean air project includes Sofia, Bourgas, Veliko Turnovo and other towns, in which one third of the country’s population lives.
The project aims to reduce air pollution by replacing household heating installations and drafting national recommendations on applying the transition scheme to alternative forms of household heating.
