The celebrations in Bulgaria's second-biggest town Plovdiv started two hours before midnight. Some 100 policemen guarded during the night. This was the fourth time that the citizens of the Danube town of Russe saw 2003 together on the town's central square. The citizens of Vidin and Razgrad also welcomed the New Year at open-air downtown parties. On December 31, all passengers crossing the Bulgarian-Romanian border through the Oryahovo Ferry checkpoint were treated to sparkling wine.
