"Your return is one of the best news for Serbia," Aleksandar Vui wrote to us on the "Buducnostsrbijeav" account on Instagram.

November 2020 is the deadliest month in Bulgaria for at least the last five years. This is according to preliminary data of the National Statistical Institute (NSI) on mortality in the country, published this week. In November, 15,953 people died in Bulgaria, with an average of about 8,300 in the same month over the past 5 years. The increase is over 92%.

A similar problem, to a lesser extent, appears when searching for news reports from May 5, 2015.

Bulgarians believe mostly what is being said on television and at least the print media, unlike other European peoples, who are skeptical mostly to social networks. This shows a year-by-year study of the European Union of Electronic Media, which collected data from 33 countries in Europe, reports Dnevnik. 

Freedom of speech in Bulgaria in 2018 has diminished, and this reflects the overall weakness of the rule of law and, among a number of other factors, the fact that laws are applied selectively and there are people with political protection against persecution.

The annual fees for the training of students in the Bulgarian universities for the next 2019/2020 will vary between BGN 200 and EUR 7700. This is understood by a draft decision of the Council of Ministers, which has been put into public discussion, reports Dnevnik. 

Spread of fake news is massive and Bulgarians are exposed to manipulations. Although it has been a member of the EU for more than 10 years, Bulgaria is stagnant or alternating successes and retreats in the independence of the judiciary.
