The Bulgarian authorities have not activated the European Union’s Civil Protection Mechanism in connection with the recent floods, EU Commission Spokesperson for Budget and Human Resources, Humanitarian Aid and Crisis Management Balazs Ujvari said. He clarified that the Commission is in contact with the Bulgarian authorities and is aware of the situation, but Bulgaria has not yet submitted any request for assistance, the BNR’s correspondent in Brussels Angelina Piskova reported. 

On Bulgaria's National Unification Day, caretaker Premier Galab Donev is visiting the flood-damaged villages in Karlovo region to check the actions of the institutions aimed to overcome the consequences of the natural calamity. 

"The state will allocate funds and construction materials to restore peoples’ homes and infrastructure. The state stands firmly behind each flood victim and is to provide differentiated assistance to every single person and every family affected by the floods”, Premier Donev has assured.

Temporary housing is expected to be delivered to the most affected villages. Citizens can also apply for one-off payment.
