Subsidies for 50 municipal projects have been frozen by the SAPARD Agency of Bulgaria’s “State Fund Agriculture” (SFA). Technical irregularities in conducting public procurement procedures resulted in the agency’s refusal to renew the subsidies, according to Kalina Ilieva, Director of the Fund.

Some 60 SAPARD projects, with a total value of BGN 13 M, have already received funding, while another 190 projects still remain to be paid.
Funding of 151 projects, to the value of BGN 49 M, has already been restored to SFA. following a decision of the Council of Ministers in March 2008.
