The employees of the Traffic Police Offices in the Bulgarian capital Sofia will work on two shifts beginning Monday, the Interior Ministry informs.
The counters will be open from 6 am to 7 pm without a break. The changes were made so that the police can better respond to the increased demand of driver’s licenses renewal.
Beginning September 1, the traffic police offices will be open from 6 am to 9 pm without a break. Passport offices will have the same working hours as well – 6 am to 9 pm.
