Bulgaria receives EUR 57 million by the EU structural and investment funds to develop measures to improve air quality, this country’s Minister of Environment and Water Neno Dimov said in response to a question of a Bulgarian MP. The money is not allotted to all Bulgarian municipalities. Only several municipalities which meet certain criteria set by the European Commission receive this financing. Minister Dimov advised the municipal authorities to focus on the fulfillment of the measures that are part of the air quality programmes. The state authorities will continue to act towards attracting EU funds to finance the relevant projects.
