The costs for my campaign will not exceed BGN 500 000 (same amount in DEM), all of them collected through donations by decent businessmen, said incumbent Petar Stoyanov in Varna yesterday, commenting the allegations about his second mandate campaign being financed by Israeli businessman Michael Chernoy, quoted by Pari Daily. I have never met Chernoy, Petar Stoyanov stated. The fact that my initiative, last year's Rozhen 2000 All-Bulgarian Convention in the Rhodopes, was organized by the Belle Epoc company and financed by Chernoy's GSM operator MobilTel does not yet mean that the state institution is in some way connected with the mobile operator, said Stoyanov, referring to the statement of his contender, Bogomil Bonev, about Stoyanov's having funded his Rozhen'2000 initiative thanks to a BGN 1.5 million donation provided by MobilTell's major stockholder Michael Cherney. The Rozhen Convention was actually the opening of Stoyanov's second mandate campaign, Bonev said. Bogomil Bonev lies, said former foreign minister and currently UDF deputy chair Nadezhda Mikhailova in Varna. The funding for the Rozhen'2000 Convention was provided through advertising proceeds, and MobilTel was among the advertises, Stoyanov's press secretary Neri Terzieva. The advertising activity was managed by Belle Epoc.
