At the insistence of the presidential administration, the revised Recovery and Resilience Plan envisages a project for a National Control and Surveillance Centre to monitor illegal logging, unauthorized construction work and water and air pollution.

This was announced by President Rumen Radev during a visit to Smolyan. The plan also includes a project for an emergency air medical services system so that medical staff can react promptly to accidents taking place in mountainous areas and regions difficult to access. During a discussion with representatives of the institutions and the public, President Radev stated that in recent years the word “concession” has become a dirty word because of the low charges and the export of invaluable raw materials for next to nothing. That is why, he says, legislative amendments are needed, as well as serious control mechanisms.
