Bulgaria’s parliament has instructed the government to set up a National Water Board within two weeks to coordinate the work of various institutions in tackling the country’s water crisis and preventing future shortages.
During the discussions, it was revealed that over half a million Bulgarians suffer from chronic drinking water shortages or receive water of poor quality, according to BNR reporter Daniel Inkov.
