According to preliminary estimates, 12 bridges are in need of repair, plus the other damages inflicted by the flooding along the Southern segment of the Black Sea coastline. The bridges will need 20-30 million Leva (a little over EUR 10-15 million), while the disaster and accident fund has a free resource of over 60 million Leva (over EUR 30 million), Minister Vassilev said. Army personnel from the engineering units of the Bulgarian army are currently reviewing and assessing the damage to the three bridges. More than 100 volunteers have been at work in the regions affected during the past 24 hours.
The European Commission has announced that, at Bulgaria’s request, it has provided the Bulgarian authorities data from the Copernicus satellite system for assessment of the situation in the regions hit by the flooding along the Southern portion of the Black Sea coastline in the past few days. According to EC spokesperson Balazs Ujvari if a request is subsequently submitted under the EU Civil Protection Mechanism the Commission will do everything it can to provide the necessary assistance.
