Bulgaria: State of Emergency Terminated in Bulgaria's Bansko BGNES

The state of emergency in Bulgaria’s town of Bansko has been terminated by order of the mayor Georgi Ikonomov.

The state of emergency continued for 24 hours and was declared due to heavy rainfall which caused the river Glazne to overflow.

On Wednesday, the Glazne river washed away three bridges, flooding a ski road and local entertainment facilities.

Ikonomov thanked everyone who participated in trying to control the situation.
