There are nearly 2,000 children from Ukraine who will study in the kindergartens and schools in the Varna region. This was announced today by the press center of the regional administration in the seaside city after a working meeting between the regional governor Assoc. Andriyana Andreeva and the head of the Regional Department of Education, Dr. Irena Radeva.

From May 15, the ban on walking pets on the beaches on the territory of the municipality of Varna came into force. The restriction will be valid only during the summer season - until October 1.

The National Institute of Meteorology and Hydrology has issued a yellow code for intense rain and thunderstorms for today, May 17, for almost all of Bulgaria. Exceptions are only four districts in the north-eastern part of the country - Shumen, Silistra, Dobrich and Varna.

A 45-year-old man from Shumen died in a traffic accident last night, the Regional Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs informed. The accident happened around 10:20 p.m. on the main road Ruse - Varna, in the section between Mutnitsa and Shumen, about half a kilometer before the roundabout.

30,181 fewer people died in Bulgaria in 2022 compared to 2021, when the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic was here. This is shown by the data of the National Statistical Institute (NSI). However, the total number of the population of Bulgaria decreased by 34,774 people in just one year and on December 31, 2022 it was 6,447 million. For every 1,000 men there are 1,080 women.

A man from the village of Ruen, Burgas, was charged with criminal responsibility for helping foreigners cross the country in collaboration with two other men.

A street in the rebuilt Varna district of the Monument to the Bulgarian-Soviet Friendship (the so-called "Zheraven Vrah") collapsed after an accident on the main water supply to the resorts late last night. The nearby "Vasil Levski" boulevard turned into a river, and the underpass on which the traffic diverges to "Knyaz Boris I" boulevard (the road to Golden Sands) was blocked.

When it comes to the tourism industry, Bulgaria has always been a popular destination among tourists with its rich cultural heritage, beautiful landscapes, stunning beach resorts, and vibrant nightlife. Along with these, the country has also seen a rise in the number of online casinos in its main tourist destinations in recent years, such as Sunny Beach and Varna.
