From Friday, January 7, those arriving in Bulgaria from countries in the “red zone” will be admitted to Bulgaria upon presentation of a valid digital EU COVID certificate for vaccination or disease, or a similar document, but at the same time with a negative PCR test of up to 72 hours before entering the country.

The fee for household waste in the municipality of Veliko Tarnovo is increased from 1.2 to 1.7 per mille on the tax assessment of the property from 2022. The proposal of the administration was adopted at a meeting of the Municipal Council yesterday.
There will be a relief for households that introduce separate waste collection. The rates in the region have not changed for 10 years, but in the meantime the amount of the minimum wage has increased at least three times, and for the next year higher costs are expected in connection with the increase in electricity, fuel and water, which requires an increase in the garbage fee as well.

The similar document has to contain the same data as the EU digital COVID certificate if the arrivals are from a non-EU country.
The Municipality of Gorna Oryahovitsa has started preparations for the construction of the Northern Bypass Road.

As of Friday, the main street “Vasil Levski” in Veliko Tarnovo will be closed for a month, which will require a reorganization of the traffic in the city. The closure of the street is necessary due to the forthcoming excavation of this section in order to replace part of the collector pipe. This will significantly improve the drainage and will end the flooding of sidewalks, offices and shops during heavy rains.
