The Ministry of Economy will provide the Municipality of Burgas with funds for the construction of a new 500 m long street in the North Industrial Zone. This is a result of the governmental decision to approve the financing of public municipal infrastructure under the Investment Promotion Act (IPA). The infrastructure is being constructed in connection with the implementation of the investment project "Construction of the Heart and Brain Center of Clinical Excellence" certified under the IPA. Earlier this year, Commercial League - Global Pharma Center, was granted the class “A” investments certificate for the construction of the new state-of-the-art hospital in Burgas. The development and realization of the project is awarded to the Architectural and Construction Bureau Helvetia. The project was praised personally by the Vice-minister of Economics at the special ceremony.

Interview by Diana Yankulova with Tihomir Kamenov in the ''Sunday 150" show "You cannot negotiate or come into an agreement with this virus. Everyone agrees that the pandemic is a war.
