The waste processing plant of the Bulgarian capital is supposed to be completed by the end of 2011, according to acting Sofia Mayor Minko Gerdzhikov.
Gerdzhikov announced that after his meeting with EU Commissioner for Regional Policy, Pavel Samecki. One of the topics of their conversation was Sofia’s application for a EUR 81 M grant for the construction of the garbage disposal factory under the Environment Operational Program.
