Since Nova Kakhovka dam was blown up, there is no reason to bring up the question of the water quality any more, Environment Minister Julian Popov said, in an interview with public service TV BNT. “The Black Sea and the air in these regions has been monitored closely since the beginning of the war,” Minister Popov said.

During a meeting with the Romanian minister of the environment, they couldn’t understand where the panic and the concern in Bulgaria about the purity of the water was coming from, he said.  

“There is very active propaganda coming from Russia and some other active points which aims to ruin the tourist season in Bulgaria and Romania, to trigger protests “for peace” and “against the war”, Julian Popov said. The Bulgarian authorities are working hard, together with different EU institutions, Romania and Ukraine, to make objective information available, Minister Popov said.
