Mobile operators will take urgent steps to improve mobile network coverage for the population in the village of Voden and several neighboring villages. This was decided at a meeting initiated by Prime Minister Dimitar Glavchev and Transport and Communications Minister Georgi Gvozdeykov after it became clear that among the problems in responding to the natural disaster was the lack of mobile communications coverage
"People's right to communicate wherever they are cannot be taken away," Glavchev stressed yesterday.

The Ministry of Transport and Communications stressed that the situation in the village of Voden showed the importance of the Recovery and Resilience Plan project, which provides high-speed internet to 400,000 Bulgarians in hard-to-reach and remote areas of the country.
