Bulgarian Prostitutes A Successful Export For Good Reason

In my opinion and many others who specialise in the evaluation of the attractions of the opposite sex (yes, I am a straight male) Bulgaria have the most beautiful women in the world so they must made a handsome wad from their prostitution businesses illegal or otherwise. Playing to their strengths comes to mind.

The greater part of the prostitutes, working in the European cities, come from Russia, Romania and Bulgaria, Macedonian online news edition Forum writes on Wednesday, citing BBC.

A survey of prostitution across the EU, worked out by Amsterdam-based Tamper (European Network for HIV/STI Prevention and Health Promotion among Migrant Sex Workers), shows that after Bulgaria and Romania’s accession in the European Union in 2007, the traffic of prostitutes to East Europe has been facilitated.

Extreme Cold In Bulgaria - Spring WIll More Welcome Now

Tell me about it, we have no water due to frozen pipes and not likely to see any for at least a week with sub zero temperatures throughout. At work we are all working in sub-zero temperatures and no matter how many layers of clothing you wear the cold still penetrates into you like a dagger of ice. Extreme cold bring lots of problems but makes the spring all that much more appreciated when it comes. Thank God for rakia in the evenings to warm us all up.

Bulgaria was battered by extreme weather conditions over the past 24 hours, with temperatures reportedly plummeting to a record -32C in the north east.

Dobrich saw the mercury dip down to -26C while 17 other municipalities across Bulgaria reported that temperatures went below -23C. In some towns in the north of the country, Pleven, Rousse and Elhovo, temperatures dropped to their lowest since 1933, Dnevnik daily reported on January 26 2010.

The seaside town of Kaliakra reported -18.8C and negative temperatures prevailed along the entire coast, while Sofia fell to -15C.

The lowest temperature in Bulgaria since data became available (although certainly not the lowest ever) was back in 1947 when the thermometer showed -38.3C in the village of Trun.

The forecast for January 26 is one of serene skies and predominant sunshine across the entire country, although fog and reduced visibility will form along most of the Danube Valley. Temperatures in the north of Bulgaria will remain in the -12C to -15C range during the day while in the south from -5C to about -10C, the Bulgarian Meteorological Service reported on its website.

Conditions for mountaineering and skiing should be good because the forecast predicts serene skies and mild to moderate easterly winds.

Bulgarians Injured In Afganisitan

With one of my Bulgarian friends over there serving it was a nervous look at the news to see whether he was one of the injured. Part of the job he always says to me when I ask if he is frightened of getting caught up in the action. He's only there for the money for an apartment to live in with his fiancée, let's hope he makes it and we get to attend his wedding and new home when he gets back.

Four Bulgarian soldiers were wounded in a rocket attack the militants carried out Sunday close to the foreign military base in southern Afghanistan, while the Bulgarian Defense Minister was visiting some of his country's troops stationed there.

Missiles launched with a timer mechanism landed at a NATO base in Kandahar, about 300 meters from where Defense Minister Nikolay Mladenov and his delegation have been accommodated.

Neither the minister nor the delegation members were hurt in the attack, reports said.

The minister, who visited the injured soldiers, did not say whether he would carry out the visits that were so far part of his program. It was his last foreign trip as Bulgaria's Defense Minister, before being officially appointed as new Foreign Minister Wednesday.

Five-hundred Bulgarian troops are serving in Afghanistan as part of the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF), of which 270 Bulgarian troops are based in the volatile Kandahar province.

Snow Help Greeks WIth Bulgarian Blockade

So snow is on the side of the Greeks as it aids their blockage of the border. Having experienced the extremes of weather recently I must say this report is no exaggeration with the blizzards that were seen on Friday night. Freezing temperatures are forecast now with more snow at the end of the week. Must be very cold for the Greeks who are protesting in their tractors.

Travel in several parts of Bulgaria was an unpredictable if not impossible business on the weekend of January 23 and 24 2010 with on-again, off-again blockades at the border with Greece and with heavy snowfalls disrupting motoring in the northern and eastern parts of the country.

On the morning of January 24, Bulgaria’s border police said that all checkpoints on the Bulgarian-Greek border were open and traffic was flowing without queues. However, it blockades by protesting Greek farmers, who had not quit the scene, resumed later on January 24.

Carlsberg To Have a Bigger Presence In Bulgaria

“Probably the worse lager in the world!“ This is the phrase etched in my brain from the name Carlsberg. This investment into a Bulgarian baking company to many seems like a good idea, perhaps it is rather than seeing another Bulgarian company collapse. However, even if it is just bread products not related to their ‘plastic’ brew, this may be a Trojan horse leading a major advertising campaign for their brewing company on the back of it.

Carlsberg Bulgaria, the local unit of the Danish brewery group, will acquire Blagoevgrad-based municipally-owned bread and bakery products maker Hlyab i Hlebni Izdelia, Blagoevgrad town hall said.

The news was confirmed by Carlsberg Bulgaria executive director Alexander Grancharov, who said that a part of the new facility will accommodate new production lines and warehouses, but the plans have not been finalised yet.

In a letter to mayor Kostadin Paskalev, the brewer outlined plans to close four of its production lines on the Balkans and channel investments into their Blagoevgrad facility. Grancharov declined to give further details.

Carlsberg was the only bidder for the municipal company, which was put for sale for a third time. Carlsberg paid 2.31 million leva for Hlyab i Hlebni Izdelia, which has three factories in Blagoevgrad and one in Logodash, near the border with Macedonia. It employs 55 people, according to the town hall.
