The Ministry of Labor and Social Policy has launched a full review of the ‘Beautiful Bulgaria' project, local media reported Monday.

The review comes after Labor and Social Policy Minister Totyu Mladenov recently fired the Director of the project, Stanimir Kolev, without giving any reasons for the move. Kolev was replaced by renowned architect Valeria Boteva.

EUR 71 M is expected to be given to the project in 2009 to over 71 sites in what former Minister Emiliya Maslarova described as one of the best ways of securing employment during the economic crisis. The project provides funding for the repair and construction of social housing, sheltered housing, kindergartens and historical monuments.

A single proposal may receive up to EUR 300 000, of which at least 50 percent must be financed by the contractor. The "Beautiful Bulgaria" project was founded in 1997, initially to repair old buildings and monuments in Sofia.
