The Sofia City Hall must revise their decision to bind the purchase of the land plot near the Russian Church with the sale of its share of the Central Market Hall, the NGO “Civic Committee for Salvation 2000,” demands.

Citizens insist on obtaining from the municipality complete information about all procedures involved in the deal and want it published on the internet, along with the reports of the appraisers.

They further ask the Mayor, Yordanka Fandakova, to comply with the Construction and Public Works Act and give all parks and gardens in the capital a public, municipal property statute.

The Committee was established precisely with the goal to preserve the park near the Russian Church in downtown Sofia.

Last Thursday, the Sofia City Hall finalized the deal to swap its shares of the Central Market Hall and become the owner of the park near the Russian Church, both in the downtown of the Bulgarian capital.
