Power utility EVN has shut out the electricity to the buildings of the Marina Dinevi, the Black Sea yacht port of tycoons Yordan Dinev and Dinko Dinev, located in the Sveti Vlas resort.

EVN acted at the order of the Burgas Office of the State Construction Supervision Directorate that decreed the termination of electricity and water supplies of the two buildings and the pool of the Marina Dinevi yacht port in Sveti Vlas.

The construction directorate and Marina Dinevi have been in conflict over the precise area of the Marina Dinevi facilities. If those are proven to be under 5 000 square meters, they are not subject to approval by the State Directorate, and are handled by the municipal authorities.

The state authorities said Monday that until today, Marina Dinevi got legally electricity as a "temporary" consumer, based on a document from the Nessebar Municipality.

In a special statement, Dinevi Group, owner of the yacht port said that the terminated electricity supply affected the hotel and administrative buildings but not the actual yacht port, which keeps operating.

The company even says that it stopped the water and electricity supply on its own as of October 1, since the buildings in question are seasonal, i.e. used in the summer only.

Dinevi Group says it considered the actions of the construction control authorities unacceptable, and will defend its rights in court.

The wealth of construction entrepreneurs Yordan Dinev and Dinko Dinev is said to be a couple of hundred million BGN.
