Bulgaria is now in the position to make an assessment of the damages and estimate the amount of European Union (EU) aid it can rely on, private bTV station reports.
The three most affected regions that rely on aid from the EU Solidarity Fund are Varna (especially its Asparuhovo quarter), Mizia and the Southeast (encompassing Stara Zagora, Haskovo and Burgas).
So far EUR 10.5 million from the EU Solidarity Fund have been awarded to Varna, BGN 9 million of which will go for the construction of the drainage pipe in Asparuhovo, which contributed to the disastrous flood.
