Oil products of unknown composition and origin have once again washed up on a large stretch of the Pomorie coastline, in what appears to be a more serious incident than the one reported two days ago, BNR correspondent Daniela Kostadinova reports from Burgas.
The beach is littered with black, greasy stains and tar-like balls, some tangled in seaweed. The pollution affects several beaches, including Skalichkite, Kolchetata, Horizont and La Habana.
A meeting of Black Sea mayors and representatives of state institutions was held this morning to discuss the situation. The Burgas regional administration is expected to make an official statement. The mayor of Pomorie, Ivan Alexiev, declined to comment, telling BNR that he was busy.
No samples have yet been taken and the source of the pollution remains unknown. Officials noted that such spills are a 'regular occurrence' when the sea is rough, often bringing oil products ashore.
