Very few applications have so far been submitted from the areas affected by the flooding in the regions of Montana, Vratsa and Sofia.  In this connection, Minister of Labour and Social Policy Ivanka Shalapatova, who is in Varna, urged households to submit applications for support so they can be reviewed in the coming days and the support paid out as soon as possible. 

Meanwhile the situation in the areas hit by flooding is gradually going back to normal.
