The possibility to establish a multi-year national programme to fund disaster prevention projects is being discussed, it transpired after a meeting of Bulgaria’s Premier Nikolay Denkov with regional governors. The regional governors will review the critical locations in their areas where there is an urgent need of funding under the mechanisms of the Intergovernmental Commission for Recovery and Assistance.
