Cherno More

The football clubs of "Pirin" Blagoevgrad and "Cherno More" Varna gave a symbolic start to the campaign "Support for the Bulgarian captains!".

It is for Lyubomir Chanev and Danail Veselinov, who were kidnapped together with the ship Galaxy Leader on November 19, and the initiative was taken by relatives and friends of the two.

Six new industrial zones will be established in the next two years in Burgas - "Meden Rudnik", Dolno Ezerovo, Ravnets, Ninth kilometer, Cherno more and expansion of the North industrial zone, Dimitar Nikolov announced.

The procedures for lands alienation, change of their purpose and their separation into plots for business and industry have already been completed.

As from today until August 6th, Varna will host the largest open-air bookstore in Bulgaria. More than 60 Bulgarian Publishers will present thousands of book titles in the space of Hotel Cherno More next to the Festival and Congress centers, each day from 10.00 to 22.00, accompanied by a rich cultural program, reported BGNES.

Workers at closed Cherno More mine, in the region of Burgas, blocked on Tuesday morning the road between Burgas and the resort of Slanchev Bryag (Sunny Beach) to protest against the delay in payment of wages and compensations.

Work at the mine ended earlier in April, leaving its workforce of nearly 300 people without jobs and with unpaid salaries for March.

Bulgaria's National Electricity Company (NEK) paid 2.5 times more than what is needed to pay salaries at the Cherno More mine, the Ministry of Economy has said.

Workers at the Bobov Dol coal mine have announced they will also hold a strike, the Bulgarian National Radio has reported.

They have vowed to move in lockstep with colleagues at the Cherno More-Burgas mine, where protest action is now in its second day.
