Sofia Mayor Vasil Terziev said regarding the extra budget: “With today’s decision by the Sofia City Council, we updated the city’s budget and saved around 40 million leva that would not normally be spent. Instead, we are directing this money to where it is most needed — new kindergartens, schools, water and sewage infrastructure, and cultural spaces.”

Terziev noted that constructive discussions had taken place last week with political forces in the Sofia City Council, and that both sides made the necessary compromises in the name of common interests.

The approved changes will accelerate the construction of more than 30 kindergartens and 10 schools, invest in 7 key water supply and sewerage projects, fund the urgent repair of the City Hospital, and finance road maintenance and winter preparations.
