More than half of Bulgarians over 18 – 55.5% - are against New Year’s night pyrotechnics, indicates a sociological survey by Gallup International Balkan, commissioned by public service TV BNT. 32.2% of the respondents say they are “for” the use of fireworks, the rest are in the “no opinion” category.

In Sofia pyrotechnics will be allowed from 6 PM on 31 December until 2 AM on 1 January. Under a Sofia municipal council regulation, use of pyrotechnics outside that time period is banned but the ban is frequently violated.

At the traditional New Year’s concert downtown Sofia there will be no fireworks, there will be a light show instead.
